Stan,

Yes Ted does sell them for the 3,4 and 6. I put one on the 6 and is is much 
better than the OEM plastic line.

But the 3 had a steel line originally which I find superior even to the part 
Ted sells. The braided line will eventually go, but the steel line will last 
forever.

The only part on the 3 and 4 that will go is the braided line from the engine 
to the steel line. That is a 5 minute fix with a new line from TRF and you 
don't have to remove the OP gauge to install the line.

I see the steel lines on Ebay from time to time and TRF sells a better than 
OEM braided line from the engine.

Both my 3 and 4 are stock steel lines.

Bob
