We did a piece on that in an issue of The Brickline several months ago.
Do NOT use the plastic line that you get at the local hardware store.
You want the stuff for truck air brakes - it costs abotu $.17 per foot.
You will need to find a good fastener store and find the metal inserts
for the tubing also; so the ferrels don't collapse the air lines.
