are standard silicone lines a suitable replacement for the braided ones? and plastic T's?
AND do I have to clamp them? _________________ It was either this or a giant box of legos |

I don't see why not. I use plain ol rubber lines and tee's from from the FLAPS. I'd clamp or wire any hoses that see boost. Probably wouldnt hurt to clamp them all if you're staying CIS. _________________ 1982 931- Stock with MBC at 8psi

I used a spool of 3mm silicone hose for the small stuff, and 1/2" elbows for those larger bits...
FYI, was recently pointed to these guys who sell metric hoses including some of the more annoying sizes...

(FWIW, the 3mm stuff I got in a spool from Summit) _________________ Vaughan Scott
