Hey Guys,
Does anyone know where I can get 3mm steel or copper tubing (smaller than brake lines) to run as an original setup from the inlet manifold to the vacuum advance on the dizzie. I also need 1 male and 1 female 8mm thread compression fitting with olives to fit each end of the line. The new/old original VA I got from Dick Klinkhamer has a threaded fitting. See photos. Brake guys and Refrigeration guys ran a mile when I showed them these parts. I'll try Pirtek next to see if I could get the fittings at least and convert to rubber tubing.
Cheers,
Lewis
PS. My original starter motor rebuilt last week now works a charm!

Re: Vacuum advance plumbing
Thanks Guys,
The tube I have is too short and I will need fittings both ends. (Can't get the olive off the old one). I Already have the brass 8mm to 1/16 pipe thread fitting into the manifold though. I'm happy to buy a complete one from either of you.
Greg, Do you also have a spare air cleaner nut or 2 ?
