Both are supporting vendors of the forum. I have done business with both of them recently and was more than pleased with their service.

Mike, you're back! Did you get the message I left about getting hold of Tom's Diffs? They don't know anything about sending you their alum diff housing for set up and testing as you told us. They're also claiming they don't get those 12 bolt conversions, steel caps and caliper mounts from you.
Did you get Nascar straightened out about the absence of your name in their records?
Good luck getting this all straightened up.

check out this beautiful new fuel line from Vansteel. Thanks fellas. Crimping the the fuel line is best so you don't lose anymore fuel or just go ahead and bleed caliper.

where the hose is connected and where the caliper is located is to small for it to be placed exactly that length in the picture and how it came. This is what the original fuel line looked like taken off.

it was rubbing against my yellow shock obsorber( shown in thee picture) which is where the hole was. The new fuel line I got is for the for the car yet it was a little bit longer. Had to bend it slightly.I took it out; no leaks, no rub,no light.

I've bought a bunch of tubing from In-Line Tubing. I order their stainless steel lines and also order stainless steel fittings. They can sell the lines you want. Need some custom tubes? Fab them up in copper tubing, it's easy to bend and work with. Send them the copper tubing. They'll scan it and fabricate duplicates in stainless steel. They custom made the ss tubing to exactly fit my Stainless Steel Brake Corporation rear calipers. Very reasonable price.
