group purchase of viton vac line?

[Donald Lamond]

I intend to check a place not far from here who handles all kinds of
tubing.  What specific size were you looking at for the prices you
quote.

The clamps are made by Oetiker.  I recently purchased the single ear
model ( they also come in double ear) .  The 11.8 is a special order and
comes 100 to a package.  That's the size I needed for the 84 4Ks.  On
this particular model there is a sleeve on the inside with beveled edge
to prevent cutting of the hose.

The sales rep for Oetiker down here (Durham, NC) is currently rebuilding
an old Saab.

I agree with you on the present state of Mc Master.  When I was putting
together the pressure bleeder I called them for information on gauges.
I got so frustrated I asked and spoke to a supervisor.  He too had
absolutely no idea what a T connector was or knew anything about the
gauges.  I even sent them a picture.  When he returned my call he said
the only thing the staff knows is a part number and nothing about
application.

Anyway, i'll see what I can do about the tubing.
