Brent -

Thanks for the tips.  I'm sure we will all benefit from them.  Question about 
Sacramento Sky Ranch -- I presume I can make up a hard line in aluminum, send 
it to them, and say "make me one just like this only use stainless and 
firesleeve it".  Maybe make life easy on myself and just make a tube that's 
flared on each end,  skip the fittings, after all it's just a mockup.

Why would I do this?  
(1)  I don't have a heavy duty tubing bender and assume stainless is harder 
to bend
(2)  I don't have any steel tubing 
(3)  I don't have pressure testing capability
(4)  I expect their craftsmanship on tubing is better than mine

Final question -- why did Aeroquip tell me at Oshkosh that "Sac Sky Ranch are 
the bad guys, go to Herber"?  I can only assume that Sky Ranch uses 
Stratoflex materials rather than Aeroquip, and the Aeroquip guy was pulling 
my chain.  I have heard nothing but good things about Sac Sky Ranch.
