I've found sources for pre-made lengths but not one that will work for me.... Well I could use the 1' section but it will look like crap.. I need a 4-6" section... Any Ideas? BTW the tube would look similar to this... 6643501-629AL1401W.jpg (40 downloads) "The Armies of our ancestors were lucky, in that they were not trailed by a second army of pencil pushers."

It would be worth checking an auto AC shop in your area also. I've spent two days between driving around to shops that use to do cool custom work but no longer do probably because that guy no longer works there & no one else bothered to learn how.... I've also contacted some of the online suppliers about a custom length & no one was willing to make one up.... Sounds like I'll be contacting Classic Auto Air plus anyone else folks suggest in this thread........

And I'll look back through my Torana paperwork abit later when I go out in the garage...think there might have been another place I ordered a few things from that might have done custom length stuff as well.

I tried to use all stock lengths, but I have one spot that would look cheesy with a 1' length & the only shorter length I've found is 2.5" which isn't long enough & they want four times as much for it as the 1' piece.... If they offered custom lengths I'd expect to pay more but they wouldn't do a custom length... Thanks for the help guys!!

They don't do custom lengths.. If I give up my quest for a tube & accept a hose than I can make the hose at my shop, I recently purchased a hose crimping tool that Oz suggested... But I really think the tube will look more like an OEM install & thats what I want.... Just another 65 Falcon wagon that left the factory with fuel injection, four wheel disc brakes & air conditioning...

There's a modern P/S box too... To be honest it's gonna take someone who really knows Falcons pretty well to spot all the custom touches..
