scalliwag doesnt make them anymore, there is no SS lines for the FC anymore....unless you buy 2 sets of fd ones and im still not sure if theyre long enough.

You could always make them yourself. You can use the oil banjo fittings with some nitro rc car fuel line, worked ok on my car. You might want to go to a local hydraulic shop, i'm sure they could set you up with somethine.

I don't know if vaccumm line will hold up to oil at all. That nitro R/C car fuel line shold be easy to find and super cheap.

Yeah, I don't like the stock lines at all. If you want I can get some length of tubing (hobby shop is about 5 minute walk from my house) and send it too you if you want to foot the shipping. Or I could just send you the ones that I have on my engine, cuz I don't need them any more(I gots me a set of scalliwag lines).

I bought some -3an (or -2 can't remember) line from local race shop, took the corresponding banjo fittings from the stock lines.



Measured, cut to length. Don't forget to leave some slack. I taped the ends so it doesn't fray and used small hose clamps. Works great for me. The banjo fittings are nice and snug in the line with out the hose clamps. Also, I usd a SMALL amount of petrolium jelly to help slip them on.
