I had a look at Canadian Tire here today. They had many different lengths of metric (3/16"!) lines with bubble ends and from about 8" to 60". I was thinking of perhaps using 2 or 3 standard lengths with union connectors if installation in one piece is difficult.
I am hoping NOT to do this job, but It will leave me with one damaged flare nut. |
If I remember correctly for my W123 it was the back ones I had trouble with (before I stripped everything out)
The dealer lines are not pre-bent. If you can get them elsewhere for less I would.
