Custom Fuel & Nitrous Lines How hard would it be to make your own custom length fuel and nitrous lines? The reason that
I ask is that the fuel and nitrous lines that came with my kit are either a bit too long or a bit
too short in some cases. Is it possible to get bulk braided line and fittings and make your own
lines? If so, are there any special tools needed? TIA

Re: Custom Fuel & Nitrous Lines you can buy lines etc etc but look to spend big bucks, just fittings for my N20 Line/FP line to guage and line was over 180 bucks...

Re: Custom Fuel & Nitrous Lines It will generally be cheaper to buy pre-made lines the length you need. If you're set on making your own be sure that you get teflon lined hose designated for use with nitrous. Also, for your nitrous lines you need to use high pressure hose ends, usually listed for use with high pressure hydraulic lines - ie brake lines. Fuel lines can be standard an hose for fuel use and standard AN hose ends. A set of AN wrenches is nice to have to prevent damaging the fittings, but certainly not necessary.
