Fabricating Transmission Hard Lines

[Von Hayek]

Tom Thornton seems to think I have a horseshoe stuck where the sun don't shine, but it has apparently passed.

While my truck was sitting in the driveway without a head, I noticed a small drip spot that looked like transmission fluid. Hmm. Got it back on the road and to work for the first time today and saw a decent spot on the ground. Get it home, and sure enough, there is a drip where the return soft line and the return hard line join. So, I grab two wrenches to tighten the junction, apply pressure, and fluid just come pouring out. Drip gone, replaced by stream. Truck is out of commission again.

Anyone know where I can get these fabricated? I imagine Toyota is going to want my first-born in exchange for a set. Or better yet, how to do it myself?

Did you call IPOR to see if they have any lying Around the shop after a conversion?

Yes, I have been instructed to drive south with wrenches.

Ask them if they've ever used Cunifer bendable brake/fuel/AT lines.

Here's the link, one of my Isuzu friends used when he did an '88 Trooper restoration.

FedHill Brake Line - Where to buy brake line, fuel line, brake line flaring tools, brake line nuts and brake line fittings

Cut out the bad section, 2 new unions, 1 new piece of hard line and patch it back. I would say you need to get to an area where the lines are solid.

Have you no faith

But first you must repent all your sins for having anything to do with a heep.

Just give me the evil 62 and all will be forgiven

Able Hydraulics in Plano, Texas. They have made all types of lines for me. MIke

Tom don't go so hard on Bart, everyone makes mistakes the important thing is he washed his hands after touching it.

Bart hows the lines coming.

Transmission fixed thanks to some used lines from Iron Pig. For not the first time, thanks to the guys at IPOR for the great help.
