Anyone put together their own steel braided lines?
Anyone put together their own steel-braided hoses and lines? I'm making a fuel line from pump to carb, and what a pain in the arse.
Seems simple enough: big hose into a small hole---nothing I haven't accomplished before---but no force is sufficient to get this one in.
Am I missing somthing? Special tools? Mechanical competence?
I have -6AN hose, and a -6AN connector that goes to a threaded connector (which in turn, will go to an elbow and into the pump). Cannot get the -6AN hose into the -6AN connector female. THEN, I've got to hold it in place while a male connector screws into the female with the male into the end of the tube.
I'd just be happy getting the large tube into the small hole.
Yes, I'm still talking about steel-braided lines!
