....or you could make them from Aeroquip SS line and Alu. fittings and have
much better and longer lasting product, IMHO. I am assuming that you are
buying them because you old ones are leaking or something of that nature,
correct? Well, all you are buying for your $185 is some more used lines
that are going to leak eventually anyway. You could build them yourself
from the above mentioned products for around $125 and have NEW and better
quality lines. Just a suggestion anyway. :)

Granted, you are kinda stuck when it comes to the turbo return hose, but
$110 is high. I wouldn't give over $50 for it.

 Precisly my point....you never know what you are going to get.

 We have salt, but trace amounts. It is mixed in with the sand that they
spread around so generously.
