Oh wow, how did I miss the updates

Will send you a PM, I'm in for brass with metric fittings



They are happening.. I imagine shipping is going to be the next challenge.

I would cut out plywood in a rectangle and strap the lines down. Then cover with bublewrap in a cardboard box.
We get sent brand new 911 hardlines in just plain cardboard boxes and 25% come through bent beyond use. It wastes hundreds of dollars but the shipping department doesn’t seem to care.

Wow. I've never seen anyone reproduce the GT lines. This is awesome!



Is there a "sign up" for these...and...if so, can you add me to the list?

Yes, I get that. I just wonder why no one (till now) has put together a repro kit.

There are people making them but they are more expensive then most are willing to pay. If you are going to use aluminum ends they will be $100-150 each end.
I paid over $1000 for that set back when they were still available (over 20 years ago).

Yup....it was a great set.
(un?)fortunately, I already had some significant items, ie..almost all, except the soft lines, fittings and bolts...and the hard lines were in gestation....
So
still scrounging about....

So going back and forth on materials.. I am being told Brass as not an ideal material as the quality is sketchy .. Stainless is the next option and could get that plated in yellow zinc..

Gonna start a group buy next week for 10 sets.. Regardless of material they will look original.

Looking forward to final info on materials and end fitting details - factory metric foe me!

Any thoughts on the T pipe and flexi yet?

Stainless and metric fittings are now for sure.. Brass was too much of a liability as the quality of raw materials was to low.. The other pipes and fittings will happen.. Trying to think through a 911 t stat as an option as a retro fit to the system.
