NY Braided OMP Lines

So a few weeks ago I made a thread on the technical section on trying to find certain size fittings to make my own OMP lines.Idid not get the answer I wanted.I was told  to buy them from a rotary website for 200 bu cks.I just could not get myself to buy 2 lines for 100 bucks a piece. I was even called cheap! Anyways, I manage to get premade lines and some fittings. Here is one of the line I have put together, tell me what you guys think.

Actually, you weren't called cheap. TTT was basically stating that sooner or later you'll HAVE to spend money. Its the nature of the car hobby. Nobody told you to do anything but offered suggestions. You mentioned that someone sells them pre-made and a suggestion was made because there would be no guess work for you. You would buy, install, and be happy. Answers were only given based off of the information you gave. You shouldn't take everything so personal.

So you made all 4 of them for 80 dollars? And how did you get them to fit?

why dont you make them and sell them to people. YOu could probably get $100 a set and that alone would make me buy a set.

Why didnt you just make both sides with the same fitting like Banjo adapter? Why did you put the AN fitting at the bottom?

dude. go to petsmart ....get those mini air tube line. they are vinyl. ..i replace my OMP line using this. I tested them in boiling H2O. they work fine and cheap too. 3.00 for 10 feet. hope that help.

additionaly. the pressure in the OPM line are so small that you will not need to use steel braided line.
