230sl 1967 fuel injection tubes and tips
« on: March 15, 2018, 14:11:19 »
Hi Guys - can anyone help once again?

I'm remaking all the tube work under the hood and I'm finding it hard to find the fittings for the injectors and or injection pump end tips / fittings - basically either end of the fuel injection tubes are fitting that fit into the both the injectors and the injection pump.

Can't understand why these tubes are so expensive to buy as it is nothing complicated to fabricate if you can find the parts - and seeing they are ready to buy someone must have the parts. May need to make some if I can't find any

Thanks in advance Gary

Gary,
i am fairly well connected in terms of supplies and I have never seen the ends of the hard lines anywhere.  You could probably machine the old ones and size them to fit then silver braze them back onto the new tubes.  Used lines are not that expensive.  I am curious why you need new lines?
