Gravity feed is pressure..only slight though..depending on the specific gravity of the fluid and the elevation...maybe 2 or 3 feet... To give you a reference ..1 PSI of water pressure is equivalent to 27.68 inches (2.33 feet)of head height (aka water column). With water having an S.G. of 1.0
So I ask how much clamping pressure does one need?? Toobad we simply couldn't find a suitable rubberhose that does not break down and get soft with brake fluid

Now looking back on the original post,I see that he has metal lines off the remote reservoirs., so maybe he can use metal NPT here. Don't really know what he has at the masters...as he mentions going to rubber hose...Easy to do as this is where all the fun bends would be...

I had assumed he had the tilton or wildwood setup, as its very common.

Yes if he had the set up you had he could do many things..why not hardline the whole works??

What did the originals run??
