NHRA rule book says the trans lines must be metal or "high pressure" type; doesn't specify attachment mechanism

It was never questioned in the past, but I wanted to ask anyway. Oh, mid-10 sec car, FWIW. Thx


I’ve seen enough carnage from leaking oil/fluid getting on the tires.

I don’t care what anyone says, manufacturer or not, I would never use any rubber in cooler lines.

Spend some time bending a nice set of lines and use flare fittings and never worry. Just put a wrench on each fitting once in a while to make sure they are tight.
