Good to know. Summit AND UPS are very very familiar with my address :) Last time I checked, however, they did not have straight sections of annealed thin wall tubing suitable for double flare 45 ends. Plenty annealed good for 37deg -AN single flares. Or it was in coils, which I don't want...

Oh, ********. Everyone has an opinion here. That includes health and industry professionals as well. Here are a few points to consider from both sides. 1) Ventless gas heaters have been used for decades. They are not new. I'm still trying to find that national outcry due to "safety" since...

They look like they may have come from assorted different tool kits for older BMWs, MBs.... Very nice.

I have no idea where you are getting this information but you are incorrect. Stainless is not more "brittle" but if not properly dealt with it will work harden. The work hardening issue is the real concern and it is something that should be considered when working with it. Even cutting the...

What line did you use? I'm wondering if you didn't get something other than thin wall annealed? Using something other than that could result in what you experienced. The right tubing can be hard to find. Places like Inline Tube can deal with thicker walls due to the equipment they have. Or...

I never said they were high mileage. But they're also not low mileage. They were well used. Including being tracked. More importantly note where I said that they looked "brand new" even at that mileage. And I mean paint, carpet, upholstery. When I compare the interior of the 328 for...

I'll provide a little feedback, but can't answer all your questions. My Racedeck use is for indoor car shows and not in my actual garage/shop. Can it be installed, removed and reinstalled without damaging the tile? Yes. Can it be done "easily"? Well, it's a PITA but it's not terrible. I'm...

I would agree with both rodm1 and Busted Bolts. Especially in an off-road application, one of the above 2 solutions will be way easier to deal with, and in the event that you crush a line it will be both easier to repair and easier to get replacement line. To get "correct" stainless line, I...

I have the ProComm ventless heater with thermostat in my shop, and my dad has one in his shop (though his doesn't have the thermostat). They are excellent units, extremely safe, I get zero moisture, and I'm in Pgh where the temperatures vary significantly (to include below zero) and ambient...

I will disagree with allinon72. Coming from a former 3 series (as well as others) owner, my experience including with high mileage cars is that they are fun cars that require very very little maintenance and age incredibly well. The combined repairs on a 328, M3, Z3, and Z-Roadster include...

Nuff said. I have no personal issue with Torque. I know what he acts like and expect it. Just like in this thread when factually he is the first person to start name calling, and then accuses somebody else of doing it. I have no problem with uninformed people being educated on the hazards of...

See my other post about the 37deg vs 45deg. If you're using -AN fittings then it's 45. Otherwise soft or stainless, it should be 37 double flares. Line sizes depend on your specific application. For fuel, you need to consider the needs of your engine, what fuel pump, regulator (if you're...

No, it's either 45 degree double flares, or 37 degree single flares. Either can be used with stainless. You need the correct tools and the correct stainless tubing to properly flare stainless. You should use seamless annealed thin wall tubing. The best flare solution is the Mastercool...

No. Please read the posts again. Start from the FIRST one. Yes, there was one person referring to PVC. The OP was not. Yet all you see are a bunch of people piling on (and some people like Torque being the first to start name calling) about PVC. Nobody ever actually gave the OP the...

You mean with "new" cars, right? Because while Barry Grant might agree, Pro-Systems, Holley and a whole bunch of other people may not consider carbs as part of "days that have passed"
