Yes.. My supply of these should be ready soon and I could ship you one to try
Most guys are using stainless braided lines. Mark Epstein has a really clean setup with good pictures. |

I tried to make my pms conversion hard line work with the heat exchangers. I didn’t. It worked fine with headers but no room with the he’s. I made stainless steel lines and it fit easily. I bought a kool tool to make the lines and it went from a pita to very easy. Ben’s hardline is very nice but I was routing the line from the engine up the passenger long so using the steel line with an a/n fitting worked best for me. |

Marks correct saying using a hose as being a good solution,if the OP isn't going this way you could buy the full length pipe from Pelican for about 30 odd dollars and bend it to clear,this pipe is plated copper and very soft,cut it down and refit the end to suit the hose length to the tank. I used this pipe and bend it so it lined up with my bracket on the case and was tucked up as high as possible out of harms way. Also I'am sure Ben could assist with some better solution. |

That looks like a brand new hardline OE? Those are $300 plus if you can find them.. Thats why I had them remade larger as they were nla |

Yes, the 911 hardlines are pretty cheap used. I have one that I was going to send to Ben to turn into a pms replica. |
