Default Technical: Pressing steel barbed fittings into 3/16" nylon tubing.

The nylon injector lines for Lucas High Pressure fuel injection present a similar problem. The method that works best is to take 2 blocks of wood, clamp them together and drill a hole through the parting line small enough to trap the line. Mount the blocks in a vise with sufficient length of line protruding to accommodate the barb. Offer up the barb to the line and with one quick blow of a hammer, the job will be done. Be sure to protect the other end of the fitting.
