Hydro line question

[skeets]

OK y'all know I had problems with the FEL on the B, and while it is back on I find at least one of the steel hydro lines across the front has a pin hole in it,, causing a real mess. Anyways, I was wondering , because of the price , if a local hydro shop could make on up or if a rubber high pressure line could be used in its place? What say you?

Not sure how "safe" it is, but I've had success in the past using a brazing rod to repair steel line pinholes.
On the other hand, I would think a hydro shop would have no problem making a steel line.

Either braze it or splice in a patch with Hi-Press compression fittings if possible.

If you could get the replacement steel line for less than a $100, I'd do that. If not, get a replacement rubber line.

Splice a flared-fitting into it. (not compression)

Take your old line in for fitting and length reference.

I can do all of the other things suggested above in my shop including custom hoses and hard lines. But fod $100 I would just buy the OEM replacement.
