Buy yourself a flaring tool, a coil of bundy tube & make them yourself :idea:

Not hard, especially if you use the old lines as your templates & reclaim the fittings (if undamaged).

Flaring tool from $45.00
Bundy tube: about $35.00 ?
Time spent making them: Priceless

All goods quoted are subject to change without prior notice and are subject to availablity at time of order.

double flaring tool tho, not just a normal flaring tool.
Remove the ends off your old lines and remake the new ones.
Best to use a proper bender also so that you do not kink your lines

Yeah, tube bender is twenty something bucks well spent. Price above is for a double flaring tool :wink:

Here are some links to pics of my fuel lines: (haven't done the brake lines yet, but same thing)

Just remember to put the fittings on before flaring the ends :wink:

Blue dot hoses? Not me... I know noth-ing... :lol:

I thought they needed an AS mark or something.

Hoses are OK with any fluid. But don't mix dot 5 with dot 3-4.. :wink:

Yes, but not just a dot. They must have the nylon sleeve at the fitting (yellow in this pic), and have the manufacturers name & serial so that the age & complience to Australian Standards can be determined.
