I just finished making an oil line for my W-30 using a trick that the man at the local NAPA store taught me and it worked great! Use a piece of steel brake line. Cap one end with duct tape and fill the line with salt - it will disolve if you accidently leave a grain or two in the line. Tap the line on the floor a time or two to completely fill the line. Cap the other end with duct tape. You can now bend and shape the line without it colapsing or kinking. Cut to length. I converted to flair fittings using fittings from a parts tractor. Those of you who are better at "Sweating" may want to use the original fittings. This may also work for gas lines.

Graet idea, thanks. If the possibility of corosion due to contact with salt is a concern, dry fine sand might be a good alternative.

Thanks for the trip back in time, the early aviation industry used to melt resin and pour that into aluminum lines, let it cool and bend the shape then heat it up and drain it out ....Sand? I would take my chances with the salt, it's going to disolve, but the sand won't and it'll scratch the heck out of bearings or cylinder walls
