p/s lines

[Lowell Gehring]

Good afternoon gents and happy Easter
1966 2110 3cyl gas. The metal p/s lines from the control down to the p/s cylinders. They keep cracking at the flare. What have you guys done to fix them? I know they are old and will keep breaking. This site has several. Not sure which ones I need. Maybe just go have some made? How much pressure is there? I am cheap. Can I just use fittings with a hose barb on each end with p/s hose between and hose clamps? Just picking your brains,Thanks Lowell

Get a DOUBLE FLARE KIT for steel tubing (~$45). And a tubing cutoff tool and you can readily repair them. And the repairs last a long time.
