Richard Cope Posted April 16, 2019 Report Share Posted April 16, 2019 Hi, appreciate your comments for a recent issue. Recently the line to my oil pressure gage (1939 Plymouth) started weeping and needed replacing. The flare fitting that forms a seal with the gage is unique, a friend and I were able to remove the old flare and reuse with a new tubing, however removing it from the old tubing took some time. Does anyone know of a source where these flares can be purchased? Thank you for your help, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plymouthy Adams Posted April 16, 2019 Report Share Posted April 16, 2019 that bubble can be bought at most any hardware store ...to effect a good seal on any removed ferrule, you will need to cut back to just behind the placement of the old one as the action when tightening is slight compression of the line...that is why these are called compression ferrules Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Cope Posted April 16, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2019 Thanks for the info, great that is available. Believe I have a short piece of broken tubing in a junk box that I removed from a parts car years ago, will use that for comparison at a hardware store.
