Good morning everyone. I am trying to gauge interest in GT lines. I had 2 previous runs made and now looking at a 3rd run. Likely would do these in mild steel and yellow zinc plate them this go around as Stainless was over kill and 25% more than last time with no benefit really as the ends were steel anyway.
Thoughts? |

I'm in; been hounding you for the past year for a set; hopefully more will chime in so I can actually get a set for my factory 6. Thank you again for doing these! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

I have a set of GT hard lines in my car and love them. If you are doing or planning on doing a 6 conversion, this is the way to go IMHO. Of course, Ben's stuff is top drawer. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

For reference here is what they looked like last time. As I said they were stainless but this go around mild steel. Even thinking of using a 26mm fitting instead of a 30. The 30mm hose doesn’t go into the front trunk easily.

These give additional cooling over rubber lines correct? Any idea how much they help? |

I am almost too afraid to ask, but have you priced brass like the originals? Or is it a matter of sourcing the correct size tubing? I will be needing a set for my car to go with PMB’s new oil cooler replica.

I will be needing a set for my car to go with PMB’s new oil cooler replica. Brass is waaay to expensive. The stainless version were $650 a set a great deal at that. I would expect these depending on interest to be less then that and come zinc plated |

Looks like it, that’s a decent amount of takers (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)
If you figure out a price point and would like a deposit please let us know. Thanks again for making another round of hard lines, not to sound snobby but I really really didn’t want to use rubber lines on my 6. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Todd |
