[AT] hydraulic pipe question

[Howard Fleming]

Thanks for all the replies on the hydraulic pipe question.

I ended up with hydraulic hose and fittings to do the job, which ended 
up being simpler overall.

If any one is interested in seeing what it ends up looking like on once 
I am done, I will post pictures at www.moosebird.net.

Thanks!

And Merry Christmas/Happy holidays,
Howard
