Re: Lss3

Several months ago I got a 25’ coil of 3/8” stainless steel tubing to use for fuel lines. I didn’t spring for the $90 tubing straightener from Eastwood. A tool that only works on one size material that would likely only be used once. I tried hand straightening. That really screwed it up. I also tried several wooden jigs clamped together with C clamps. This worked a little better, but not good enough. Lots of ripples remained. Today I used the machine shop at work to make a base plate out of aluminum. Home Depot had some wheels used on patio doors. It is a bit tricky to adjust, but the tubing ended up straight. Now there is no more excuse for not completing the fuel lines.
