Default Cracked a nitrous line. help!
We were out tuning today and my steel braided n20 line broke an inch from where it screws on to the solenoid. Can this easily be fixed by cuttin it off and puttin a new end on it ( i have alot of slack ) or should i pull the whole feed line and send it off to a sponser.

thanks

I'd just get a new line. They're not expensive.

How did it just break? Not exactly a common problem. They're generally fairly plyable.

Since its the feed line and under pressure quite often, I would pull it and send it to one of us sponsors. What size line is it? Thanks.

No worries, that's why I said any of us sponsors...I just didn't want to see you try and fix it on your own and something dangerous happen along the way.
