Pegasus is a great place. Of course, once you decide you need something
from there you have to make it worth your while to place the order...
kind of like going to Home Depot and coming back with $500 worth of
stuff "just because we'll need it sometime".
On my Tiger the PO's mechanic had replaced the plastic tubing with
copper line. I was futzing with something down near the fitting on the
engine when it basically fell apart in my hand - the tubing had been
seriously crimped by the compression fitting bead, and the vibration and
lack of strain relief did the rest of the work on that joint. I cut the
copper line at the firewall and used a drilled-out 1/2" bolt and washer
as a bulkhead adapter. On the instrument panel side I kept the copper
line and on the engine compartment side I put a 1/8" pipe to -3 adapter.
The nice part is that if you have to do any engine-out type of stuff you
can easily remove the line at both ends without having to thread
anything under the dash.
