[Tigers] Oil Pressure Line

[CoolVT at aol.com]

Stu and Rande,
The white one from SS is the one that came apart on me (at the engine  
connection).  It shot oil but nothing smoked until I slowed down and was  
idling.  By that time I had lost 3 qts. I remember scanning the gauges  about 15 
minutes before and all was okay. So doesn't take long to pump out a  quart of 
oil.  I ended up having to come home on a flat bed.......the only  time the 
Tiger didn't drive herself home in 20+ years.
So that my experience with  a plastic one from SS....less than 2 hours  old 
and pulled off the barb.  Went directly to a stainless version from  CAT.

I  replaced the oil line on my Mk 1A many years back, the '90's probably
like  Rande.  The original black plastic line shattered into a bunch  of
pieces as I removed it.

My replacement was a whitish nylon or  plastic line, with fittings like
Rande described, so it probably came from  SS, too.

The metal braid lines, which if I understand correctly, are a  metal braided
sheath over a rubbery or plastic inner tube.  IIRC only  CAT had these back
in the day.  Are they available anywhere else  now?
