Guy out East that did Pete's car makes them... don't remember his name. Martin can chime in with the info. From what I understand, he may make them "occasionally" and in batches.

call me silly, but if he wanted to make them himself he wouldn't be asking where to get them pre-made (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

You might see if this is something Chuck from Elephant Racing would be interested in making. I know he makes some nice cooling lines for 911 using tubes that have "ribs" for your cooling pleasure.

That is a nice install in that picture...........

I was just saying for myself. I wanted some brass lines like this, and never really thought I could make them myself untill I saw this. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

It's been on his table for a while now. I guess not enough interest.

I tried to make a set of brass lines when I was putting my -6 together.


I bought several 6' lengths of formable brass,and formed them all.

I filled them with low melt lead,and a tube bender.I just never could get'em to form w/o kinks in the corners. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)
I prpbably spent more in tubing than the job was worth.


I gave up and just went w/-16 startlite hose.

Contact your local music store and ask them who repairs their brass instruments (trumpet, tuba, baritones etc.). I called one once and they said they could do it of they had the specs.

That's very similar to what I was thinking of in terms of making a "trombone" style oil cooler that ran under the rockers. Just form a loop at the forward end. That finned tubing Chuck has would be excellent for that.

Trick is to bend it with frozen water in the inside so that it forms properly - but you aleady knew that.

Ditto Erics comments: "Might be interested... depends upon the price"

I'd vote NOT to use the finned lines.

Engman,

A better way to bend tubing is packing with sand. Be sure to tamp it down real tight before bending. Lots easier than frozen water. Be sure to blow out the sand when finished & flush clean.
