Default 1/8" Hard line Sources?
Hi,
I have a '70 with rusty/ broken 1/8" hard lines that go to the the rear venting system. Does anyone have a source to replace these lines?
Thanks, Mike

I used 1/8” copper from a local hydraulic supply store. Easy to bend, worked great, not a lot of money.

I would recommend using NiCu (nickel-copper) brake/fuel line for that task. It comes in 1/8" size; it is easy to bend and form flare fittings (or compression fittings if required); and is impervious to fuel, oil, brake fluid, and water. Get it at most auto parts stores.
