$120 to redo my oil lines....
My dad did me the favor of taking my oil lines to this uppety race car shop here in town and they're quoting $120 because it's metric. I might as well order from racing beat.
What did you pay for your oil lines to be redone at a hydraulic shop? Anyone?

That's what I'm gonna do. They wanted to order the ball end like on the old lines for $42... No. I told them to use an elbow and then tell me how much it would cost. They're getting back to me.

I bought the SS lines from Mazdatrix for ~120 bucks. This was last fall. At the time black dragon had the stock rubber ones for about 90 bucks but it doesn't look like they carry those anymore.

try these guys:http:

An inexpensive alternative is cut the ferrils off the ends of the lines. The end fittings can be reused with new ferrils. You will need to find someone to crimp the new hoses on.

I get mine done a 1/2 mile from the house, last one was 20 bucks for hose and crimping the ferrels. 1/2" fittings can be brazed on the pipe end if you need a new barb, but all of the old fittings should be reused. These guys want to sell new parts for profit margin, nothing more.

So just cut the hose and pull the fittings off, then take them and tell them to reuse?
What kind of pressure are we looking at for these lines?

I built new aeroquip braided lines with -10 AN fittings EXACTLY like the Racing Beat lines for about $80 in parts. It took about 2 hours to complete since it was my first time, but it left me with great self satisfaction and gave me one of those proud "damn... I did that myself" moments not often felt with purschased goods.
Next time, if what Trochoid says is true (and it usually is) I'll take th old lines to the hydraulic shop if I can reuse the ends. I still have the old lines.

Oil pressure should be no more than 110psi. So, if you used a ferril for a 200psi or higher application that should be good, a saftey factor of ~2 or more.
