Where can I buy the steel tubing to make the two lines for the vacuum to operate my 1940convertible top? They have to be long enough to go from the kick panel ,across the floor to the tunnel, and then along the tunnel to under the rear seat.That's about 72" each, plus (4) about 24" long under the rear seat. I could buy copper, 3/8" O.D., or 1/4" O.D.Copper 1/4" O.D. is a better size to run, but will I get enough vacuum to operate the top??
Regards, Steve Lee

Steve, you keep posting new threads on the same questions, and then apologizing for doing so. Kube answered this question yesterday afternoon on your other thread. Now apologize again and don 't be a bad boy anymore.

Your being the "Bad Boy" Alan. I asked "Kubes" about the steel lines and he said that he got them, NOS at Hershey a zillion years ago, and as far as he knew they were the only ones in existance. Now I'm asking where I can get that size steel line in those long lengths. Or adversely, would 1/4" inch or 3/8" copper work. This is supposed to be a venue to help the members when they need help, not to put them down. I'm going to ask questions until I get all of the answers I need to do the job.
Regards, Steve Lee

Alan, Don't start fights on the forum. It's very CHILDISH. "Kubes" warned me about that, and I learned to be more careful of what I said, and not to criticise others on ths forum. This forum is to "HELP" one another, not to 'CRITICISE" one another. Everybody on this forum makes numorous spelling errors,verbage errors and prose errors, just to name a few. But we must restrain our selves and overlook thier errors, because we are all human; "And it is human to err!"
Regards, Steve Lee

Your wrong Alan. !! He said brakeline would work, but auto supply stores don't have it in 74" lengths. About 2' is the max that they have, but maybe you can tell me where I can obtain it??

Steve, carefully read this, please: Your previously asked question was fully answered on page 2 of that post yesterday afternoon. There is no fight here but that which is perceived due to your misunderstanding. Please return to that post and find the answer by Kube instructing where to buy the steel tubing. I will not communicate further on this subject, nor should you unless you feel that an apology is in order.
Alan

Most parts stores sell 5ft can’t kink line. But if you go to a speed shop you can buy coils of tubing in 25’ rolls

I have looked through all of the posts from the start and only see one very recent one about where to buy that steel line in the length I will need, that being a reply on 9/7/2018 by shogun at 6:07 PM regarding a Speed shop supply. Did I miss something?? Regards, Steve Lee

Alan, I don't see or can't find that post by Kubes (where he tells me where to buy the steel line) that you are talking about. Can you give me a date and time of that post??? Regards, Steve Lee
