Oil Metering Lines

dudemaaan · 09-28-2009, 04:12 PM

No special tool is needed for the ear clamps, pretty much any kind of pliers will work just fine. Hell a rock and a screwdriver could probably be used in a pinch.

My writeup for 3rd gen Here (same for 2nd gen just different amount of lines required)

The tubing is part number MSC # 48701031 currently at This link $2.19 per ft

Ear clamp part number is MSC #: 48547962 $.41 ea Currently found here

probably because I was using their in-house search function.

Tubing (filter by "Teflon" which covers all teflon materials, then filter by ID and wall thickness)

clamps (filter by 2-ear, then by necessary diameter)

holy shit you bought a "tool"??? Lol, I just used slip joint pliers, it's my fav tool to use, and it worked just fine.

Wow, i didnt even know there was a "tool".

I went to the tractor store and bought weedwacker fuel line for like 1.50 or so, then used thick aircraft fastening wire and twisted it on to hold it.

That was 2 trouble free years ago.
