I have a very nice professional series swedgelock bender, cutter and flaring tool that I gave an ungodly amount of money for back when I was redoing all the brake lines for my bikes.... but havent used the stuff since.

I'm thinking of re-plumbing my nitrous kit with hard steel line. I have a 15ft roll of 3/16 hard line to use so having the materials and tools isnt the issue... I just havent messed with it in ages..

-the only thing I need to double check is that the flaring tool is 37* for the high pressure fittings needed.

good shot, i'm glad i found someone who's installed nitrous before, i'm looking at installing mine in about two weeks or so, any of you guys got a weekend open and a place to do it, live in a apartment, so, ya know...i don't know about hard steel but i can find my way around a car or truck, i'd be willing to show up....?

I have put it on sevral different vehicles. Its a snap on an Fbody depending on how sneeky you want to get with it.

Looks like I still need to get a flaring tool before I do it anyway. I might just take a shot at it on a Sunday when I have off.

just a basic set up, i dont' really mind about it being sneaky, i could care less about people knowing i have it, i'm wanting to mount the bottle on the back seat folded down, and i kinda want to clean up under the hood while i'm running the nitrous too, remove the air pump, and clean it up....remove a lot of the **** i dont need...so would ya be able to help me? the interior is a snap, just run it under the carpet, but the under hood is where i'm looking to keep it pretty clean...

No problem man... just let me know when, Sundays and weekday evenings are best for me to do anything.

There's no reason we couldnt do 99% of what you want if not all of it in a whole day's work... I installed my nitrous kit in about 4 hours... plumbed, wired and spraying...
