Vacation time...
I'll be raisin' heck for the next 10 days. If I can find a wireless hot-spot, I'll drop in here occasionally. Any (panic) problems will have to be resolved by the Boys In The Shop.
Have Fun! :cool: |
Hope you have a good time. You deserve a break.

Hey Bob ... remember , if you see/hear any banjos .... do NOT go ashore .

Seriously pal- take the time to source, bend and plumb hard line. Ain't hard for a clever lad of your eminence, won't hurt your manicure, and it's bulletproof. That snap above was taken in '03 when I put the heads on and all the fuel plumbing was already on since '92. That 40 year old stuff works but I used brass crush. Plus it feeds 550 easily.
You've already got that erection Bob made out of your Bad Boy T'pan. Get with the function and look of purpose-made line. More rewarding than your meditation and yoga exercises. Stop blowing out your bleeds every week and do something meaningful. Knockers could do it easily, but I think he's already plumbed right...;) |
Well, I'll think about it. The braided lines look better to my eye, but I will think more about it. Does the new owner participate on this forum?

Well, I've been told by really smart people at DuPont that nylon does indeed seal better. Oh Chas, you might enjoy this article: Nylon Under the Hood

For all those tools, testing equipment and technical jargon that you spew, er, employ, I mean, come on now. Get with the program. I can't do it, but the folks who dropped my engine and tranny in, knew WTH they were doing. I didn't even have to ask. As Chas said, it's the way ___________________ (fill in the blank with your deity) intended. ;) |
Patrick .... Nylon seals ok if there are irregular surfaces , nicks etc ..... for a while . As long as you don`t undo the connection and then reuse the Nylon "0" ring/flat seal . It doesn`t have as much memory as some other materials and tends to retain the "pattern" of the surface it was mated to . A lot of the race teams I am familiar with use both Nylon and fiber , but they also use a seal only once .... as seal manufacturers recommend !
One of the Divisions of the company I worked for was Parker Seal in Salt Lake City ..... probably one of the largest makers of seals in the world , and I worked with applications engineers there more than once on various projects . Yes , Nylon will work , but don`t try to reuse it .... or any other gasket/"O" ring . You might get away with it once or twice , but it will eventually leak . BTW , my experience comes from the field and racetrack ... not an article . |

Maybe if you were willing to put him up for a week at the Ritz in the Cayman Islands. Now we're talking. At any rate, I don't think Chas wants to be seen in a beige-painted ERA with two roll bars running a non-FE FE. |
