is there such a thing as a 28", 30", or 32" stainless 4AN oil feed line for a t3 center section? I have been searching and searching but cannot find anything that I don't have to make myself besides a 24" which is too short and a 36" which is sloppy.

the reason I want something this length is I have been using a 24" coupled with a 15"(sloppy) line to feed my garrett super 60 on my 420a. it leaks worse than my valve cover which is no good(the oil line leak not the valve cover leak. it is a mopar so if the valve cover didn't leak I might worry). I tried teflon tape and everything.

I refuse to drive it leaking like that and don't want to piece together a 30" line with AN ends but will if I have to. just thought someone out there might know where an oddball feed line was.
thanks :beer:

try this......go to a shop in your town that can make hydraulic hoses and take a hose that is too long to them.....they should be able to cut the crimped on sleve off one end, shorten it to the length you need and then recrimp it. Simple prosses....but depending on the type line that is beong used I coldnt tell without looking at it. Worth a shot tho!! ;)

4AN stainless line.

I did find a spool of it on summit's website with connectors but I don't know if I want to make something like that myself. it is kinda important that it actually works.

I don't know of any place around here that makes hydraulic line. any suggestions? machine shops, a place that sells construction machinery? I live in johnstown PA and our specialty is steel and welding. not much else, this town sux :laughing:

Got a NAPA in your town? If you do call them and see if they make any hydrolic lines. If they do ask if they can make a air compressor discharge line for a tractor and traylor truck....the line that they should use is a teflon core stanless line. () Now on the ends......take a line that you can match the ends up to with you, ends that should work are a #4 JIC 37-degree fitting....the ends should be the same you will just have a diffrent type metal on the ends.

If the napa store you call doesnt make hydrolic lines ask them if they know anyone who does....if you still have no luck call a truck shop and ask if they can tell you who in the area makes lines.

Good luck with all of it, I could make you a line....but I'm in tennessee.... :( and I dont have any of your ends to go off of.
