seadog Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 I'm having a break from my ship ando am building a Lotus 72 - I also have a 49 waiting... What I'm curious about is how to use that braided fuel line without the ends unravelling. Any Tips? Or am I being really dense...(not unknown).

Schwarz-Brot Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 Never worked with it. First try would be flaming the ends with a lighter. If it does not work an alternative might be soaking the place to cut in a drop of super glue first. Let dry, cut. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seadog Posted June 13, 2017 Author Share Posted June 13, 2017 Cheers, rouble with both those methods is that they tend to close up the end - ask me how I know :D... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seadog Posted June 15, 2017 Author Share Posted June 15, 2017 Thanks Willie, that sounds like a plan! I'll give it a go. Cheers, Fraser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
