Just a repeat of an earlier story, but it bears repeating. I'm WAS a repeat in-line tube customer. I bought a 5/16 fuell line for a 73 dart sport, and the line rear "bend" did not fit over the factory frame rail. I bent it slightly, and the line broke. The line material was brittle as hell. I called and sent pictures of the line and frame rail to In-line tube. Now; the line framerail "U" was 2" on the line inside to inside. TOO Narrow. The framerail is 2.5" wide. They basically told me: Their line is CORRECT, no one has ever complained, and that "our" lines don't break. Sorry..."YOU" are out of luck. I'm absolutely correct on this one. I told them are you willing to lose a customer for life over replacing a line OR a refund on the line. I told tme, just make the line with a 2.5" U bend. Again, they said no, there is something wrong with my car.....all the framerails are 2". Yeah right...... They said YES. I told them I'd be a cheerleader about my story. they said "go ahead"....we don't care. Therefore: go ANYWHERE else but in-line tube. they screwed me over. |

Hi dookdart. The brittlenes is a problem with that type of lines, and they don't improve with age, either! I use copper-nickel tubing to make my own lines myself, that is the preferred material with, among others, Volvo, Mercedes Benz, BMW. Will never deteriorate or get brittle, easy to work with. Take a look at this thread. Olaf. |
