5/16" brake/fuel line tube

[CrustyJeep]

Does anybody know where to get 5/16" brake/fuel line tube by the foot? I need about 7 or 8 feet, and all I can find is the 5 foot chunks, or a 25 foot roll. Or does anybody have some they could sell?

Thx

I thought Napa had some that were 8/9 feet long?

Not the one in Monroe anyhow...

5' or 6' is the longest we get when plumbing new brake system's, I think that's the longest napa stock's.

In bankruptcy and apparently not doing business, a machine answers and explains the situation, and hangs up.

:booo:

Thats all I have ever found too except in rolls and that stuff looks like crap IMO.

I know it is a drive..... but Williams Oil Filter Service in Tacoma, will have any hose supply that you would ever need....

They will custom make any type of hose for you. If they don't have something (which is super rare) they can point you in the right place to find it.

that will google up them... and they are at the top with a map and directions.

I know it is a drive , but again.... they rock.

Oh drat, I just ordered a roll... Oh well, it'll be on the frame out of sight

Sounds like the sort of place I would like to hang out at, kinda like American Hose/Fitting down here in Kent. Tacoma is a bit far though :booo:

The stuff does it job but I am just a perfectionist and having waves in the line looks like poop

This is exactly why I tried hard to find straight pieces. Oh well. I've been able to get my brake lines fairly straight by clamping them lightly in the vice, we'll see how the 5/16" goes.

This might sound goofy but you could unroll it and clamp one end in the vise and the other to you winch and pull it straight, then cut off the ends.

That stuff would bounce back..

shouldn't have said anything, then we all could have watched crusty try and straighten his line with the winch:haha:

What if when it is stretched out you press down on it enought to bend it backward and straighten it?

 

[CrustyJeep]

If you pull hard enough to get a slight stretch, it should stay pretty straight I think, as it is a very malleable alloy. I got 25', and I only need 7'. Maybe I'll give it a try

You know what'll happen... I'll end up ripping the bench out of the wall with the winch :haha:
