'65 lemans convertible top
Does anyone have a fix for a leak in the tubing fitting ? My system is leaking at the " T fitting " that connects to the pump and I really don't want to buy a kit for $100 if it can be fixed. Any help is appreciated. Jeff

Is it the line(s) or the fitting?
I would think if there is a split in line close to the T you could cut off a little and re-set. If the lines are old/brittle then a complete line change is in order. The plastic line/tubing might be found at a good hardware store, far cheaper then kit. If it's the fitting then of course you'll need to source a new replacement.

It is the fitting, I guess I didn't put it right. I have never used this type of fitting on anything else so not really sure if it can be fixed or how to do it if it can be.

Plenty of pressure on that line. If your not sure exactly what to buy off the shelf and it fails. The time and money you spend to clean up all the hydraulic fluid will make that new hose kit look real cheap.
