[Tigers] original oil lines reprodced

[Tony Somebody]

THANKS Robin. I almost bought a set on epay so I would have orginals to
duplicate BU they went to high for hoses that are 40 plus years old. Maybe
someone will have some orginal hoses they will measure off the car or I can go
with a setup like Sandy mentioed.
