Looks real good Alan, got to keep the supplier straight.

Re: My 1965 build thread
I'll try the oil the next time. My flare tool says it's for copper,aluminum, and steel. I guess it won't do SS. I think I remember that SS requires a different flare tool. Thanks for the advice.
Yes alan, you are correct. the SS requires a 33deg flare while all others are a 45deg flare. there are separate flare tools for ss and standard. Hope this helps. |

you are correct again! Im sorry, I thought 33 but I guess it is 37. I have seen SS flaired to 45deg and seal, but I am not sure how much I would trust it, exp on a brake system. |

Alan, if you can wait till Monday I will measure the holes in my bed sides as well but I am leaving for my reserve weekend so I won't be home till Monday. |
Re: My 1965 build thread
The 45* inverted flare is what is typical on factory brake and fuel lines on the non-metric vehicles. The 37* flare is used with AN (JIC) style fittings.

Re: My 1965 build thread
hmm ribbes caraige bolts
i wonder if they work any better |
Re: My 1965 build thread
I have used them before in other wood applications and they work really well but they are unforgiving in over tightening. The ribbed portion will strip without much warning that you are going too far. Just make sure you drill the hole the correct diameter and if there is a little too much room I have put waterproof wood glue on the ribs so that it fills in the cracks of the wood nicely for better grip. Of course that was in a place were I knew I would never need to take them lose again. Can't wait to see your pictures!

Not much to report, but do have a question. Is it possible to rename a thread. I didn't do a search, but did look on the user CP. I'll go do a search now. I want to rename it to "Project Vitamin C-10". |
Re: My 1965 build thread
Yes you can Alan, I had mine changed. Just PM 63-64 and he can take care of you. Just let him know the new name that you want it to be. and a link to yours now.

Isn't is nice when a vendor/supplier is a part of the solution and not part of the problem? Mar-K has gotten my business in the past and they will continue to get it in the future. |

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
Love the new name Alan, but like the others I had to do a double take for a second before I realized what you did hahaha. You realize though that a new cooler name isn't going to make it any faster ;-)

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
Allan, have you considered useing SS compression fittings rather than flare fittings?. They aren't cheap (and they are a bit more bulky) but they are WAY easier to work with if you want the lines to follow an exact path IMO. They are also more reliable. Here's a pic of a fuel delivery I made up for my intake with 3/8"SS and compression fittings. The little entry pipe is a temp. I will be making a complete hard line to the pump once it's all installed.
