    Braising Oil lines

    Does anyone know where someone could get some AN fittings braised onto M60 oil lines, Preferably in the Olympia area? I need to mount my filter on the right side of the car, which means I need to make some longer lines.....

          I've used Williams Oil Filter service in tacoma many times. Any city that has a lot of semis coming through will have a hydraulic shop. I'd be surprised if there weren't at least one in Oly.

            I've used silver solder with much success- MAPP gas gets plenty hot, as do even
            those butane torches that restaurants use...

              Do you know if they will accept project though the mail? Spokane is a little far to drive to drop off and pick up.

                What material are you going to be braising? I'd rather have it tig welded if possible.

                  I worked for Brattain International for a short time after I got out of Mechanic's school, and I built a bunch of specialty lines for my cars back then. They had all the nice Goodyear hoses/fittings for fluid lines, and all sorts of cool stuff people forget they have. Heck, I used much of the machine shop to do all my own block prep/balancing during off hours. Great resource to have.
