will try to but have snooker match on so if i do it means i lost badly :)

the nickel plated pipe is more durable (years lasting) but looks dull due to it's coating and the standard stuff looks 'nicer' if laid out clean and true

knowing how clean your truck is gonna be maybe a thought or two to getting steel or polished lines ?

and if you 'really' want ott i have larger bore sizes and fittings that may be useful for fuel pipe etc but i'm not so sure it's coated and useable with fuel
