hue jass Posted April 18, 2010 Report Share Posted April 18, 2010 (edited) I just got two feet of it from KurvyGirl on eBay. It comes to you in 2 days! I tried the cheap stuff from the hardware store because some guy on an auto racing site 'swears by it', but it actually sweats brake fluid and breaks down after only a few days. I tried to find it in town, too but couldn't. Maybe I wasn't looking in the right places. I'l watch this thread to see if someone knows of anywhere near that sells it for future ref. I do recommend going to eBay and getting it from Julie (kurvygirl) because it arrives so quickly, it defies logic. GLOh, I forgot, if you need the band type clamps that you squeeze open with pliers and then let go of to tighten (like factory), Roush Hardware in Westerville has 'em. 3/8" size.

ReconRat Posted April 18, 2010 Report Share Posted April 18, 2010 Can a guy just walk in off the street and buy from them? Lots of these places require accounts and or minimum orders.Good question, I used to, but times change. They might have stopped with the walk-ins. Which means buying by telephone or web or mail. I haven't been over there for a long time. I've never tried clear tubing for hydraulic fluid. But good clear tubing for fuel isn't easy either. But hardwares usually have something that will work for fuel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReconRat Posted April 18, 2010 Report Share Posted April 18, 2010 Order from Professional Plastics here in Ohio50 feet, you'd be selling it to the rest of us for years, heh... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hue jass Posted April 18, 2010 Report Share Posted April 18, 2010 I wish Nate didn't cut out. He didn't say what he needed it for. I know from dealing with places that sell dimensional metals that even if they don't sell in small quantities, they can dole out pieces and categorize it as 'sample' material. Either way, it's good to know there's a place in town that at least has this stuff.I've dealt with Pro Plastics before but opted out because of the minimums.

ReconRat Posted April 18, 2010 Report Share Posted April 18, 2010 Ok, the only other thing I got is to try aviation supply stores. They might stock stuff like that also, or they would know who does. Pricey to buy from places like that though. I remember using some for a hydraulic testing rig. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

natedogg624 Posted April 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2010 (edited) i relocated my brake reservoir, and rotated my brake lever down to where i like it. this is putting more stress on the hose connecting the two than i'd like hence the reason for this tubing. tygon 2075 is the only tubing (other than the OEM rubber) that will hold up to the brake fluid and not sweat or degrade over time. I used this stuff on the old bike for a few years and never had any problems. i like kurvey girl a lot and usually do order from her, but im in the process of bleeding my brakes and was kind of wanting to get it done in one shot (i was an idiot and started before i had all the parts, like this tubing...)hue jass, you wouldn't happen to have any left over tubing would you?
