Hi Bob,

The vent lines can be easily fabricated from standard stock found in parts stores. I was able to make a set using the TM illustrations, a couple inexpensive tools (bending and flaring), and a few hours of time and some coffee. Use the '54 edition of the TM (ORD 9 SNL G741) for the lengths. Isn't much work at all, just a little attention to detail to get the bends at the right places (measure twice, bend once). Definitely saves you a bunch of dough and the satisfaction of doing it yourself is priceless. The tools are re-usable for when you replace your brake and fuel lines (make sure the flare tool can do double flairs).

The fittings in the air elbow are special but I think most of the rest is standard stuff.
