I am having to fabricate all my own lines for my T4 in a Notchback. At first I tried the thinnest wall 3/8 I could find but my hydraulic flare tool had a difficult time flaring it.
I just got a coil of 5/16 .02 wall and the flare tool works fine. Flares are needed for the FI pressure. I found I have to work the bends slowly with the few hand tools I have in order to avoid crimps/kinks. I made my own tubing straightener using 5 nylon dished wheels and a couple of sections of square stock. It is amazing how straight you can work it out. Lots of how to's for that tool on the interweb. The best price I found on the tubing was a Brewery supply place in New York and they also carry thinner wall than most places I found. |
