Hi guys,
Anyone have a source for oem looking 1/2 inch ID oil line hose? Presently using Russell classic nylon braided non SS internal braiding for 5/16 ID hoses ( closest I can find to the original oem braided lines). This hose, dash 6, fits the 5/16 pipes well but I am unable to find a match for the 1/2 inch OD pipes on the early commando and the Atlas.
Original hose was a smooth material but braided looks the part as well.
Also looking for crimp on hose ends, like the fuel hoses, as per original, thinking such things are unobtainium. Have been advised that it is possible to machine alluminum to fabricate the crimp on sleeves, would need to make a crimp tool of course.
All this is to try an duplicate the original hoses.
Cheers
