How much did you guys pay for shipping on the hard line from mcmaster

i've bought from mcmaster several times in the past; their shipping prices are quite low if you live in the 'states. sorry i can't give a more precise answer.

$4.91 for (3X) 3' lengths.

Splat15k,
Did you have any concerns with the how many threads you could get screwed into the valve and still have that macro fitting clear the sight rail?

[jame4091]

I liked your idea so much the I used it.

Splat15k,

Yes, that was a very real concern; I had to use the older-style universal CCM fittings that had the longer threaded portion, which gave me the necessary clearance.

Hmm, I will have to do some hunting, I didn't know there was another version.

Here is my lower hard line so far, getting the bends to line up right in such a tight area was a bit tricky.

Has anyone tried the hand bendable stuff? I also saw where McMaster offers some sort of bending cover that is made of spring steel that says it will keep the tubing from kinking. And it's <$2. vs $30+ for the 90* tool.

Hmmm that does look interesting, I wonder if it could be anodized and if it could, how would that affects its bendability or finish

I ended up picking up a small tube bender from harbor freight. Its worked well for the price.

Oh that bender from HF isn't bad at all. I might give that a whirl.

I have a rather nice Imperial bender that works great, (I did the fuel and brake systems in stainless on my Jeep with it,) but that HF one would fit so much better in the portable toolbox. Does it bend easily and without marring?

[Mole1119]

I had a little marring, but I think it was because I was trying to get the second bend so close to the first. I will take a look tonight and take some close ups to show the finish of a single bend. I liked because the diameter of the bend was pretty small compared to the other benders I came across.

very nice

I saw that Magot is selling kits in the dealer sec. $23 , Anno'd black.

[Mole1119]

I noticed I had more marring when trying to do multiple bends in a very tight area. I definitely made a mistake by ordering one universal fitting from ccm and not two, I would have only had to do one bend instead of three.

Splat15 your mag provided a lot of inspiration for my build.
