I need to replace the oil hoses that feed the turbo and the wastegate actuator valve. Went to the mack dealer and they can't find the line from the wastegate . It is probably a 3/16ths ID stainless braided wrapped line about 3 to 3 and a half foot long. It runs into a control box of some sort on the intake. I was going to have one made but all they had was 1/4 inch which is going to be to big to fit where it needs to be routed. It's an 04 acet ac 427 . Could I get away with running a piece of brake line in its place? I'm at a loss any help or ideas would be appreciated. I'm hoping I can find some one to make one but I'm coming up short everywhere I try. Been down three days and losing money everyday. Thanks for any input
