RE: [ihc] transmission lines

[<spamaddy@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Is it possible to use rubber hose (heater hose?) instead of the tubing or
would there be too much pressure?  Can the nuts that go on the end of the
lines be obtained at an auto parts store like Napa?

Tom,

I don't think transmission lines require a double flare. I certainly 
wouldn't bother with double flaring those lines.
