Hi Kevin,
I think I'm to blame for the panic. Sorry. Don't start ripping anything
out. I think there must be a misunderstanding somewhere. Europa supplies us
with that black tubing(VW circ 1965) which has a 8mm ID. How could 3/8"
versatube be inadequate? I don't get it either. Now I'm very confused.
