I got these from Classic Tube. I ordered 2 sizes - 3/16" for brake lines and 5/16" for fuel lines. 5 feet of it was $4.80. Here is their web site. www.classictube.com. They are in Lancaster, NY. Phone 800-882-3711. Hope this helps.

Lengthy but quite interesting. Thanks for posting.

Mother Nature tolerates no defiance. 8 AM this morning in Iowa -25 degrees with wind chill of -35 to -50. High expected to be in the mid minus teens today and record lows tonight. No going out in T-shirts as frostbite is warned of in 5 minutes or less to exposed skin. Any and all projects on hold till warmer weather.

I found the repair kit on Ebay. I just looked and there are some listed. Around $5.00 - $10.00.

I twisted a nut off on one of mine and found this repair kit. Worked like a charm.

Looks like a date stenciled on there. March 23, 1948 (3-23-48) and then the last two numbers. Could it have been something stenciled on a stack of frames that were delivered to the assembly line? I thought that the number that is stamped into the frame rail matched the engine number. I know mine does on my 53 Suburban.

Looks like great fun! Enjoy and be safe. Post photos next summer
