Fine Line Imports

FLI crimps in house all hard and soft line hoses with Goodridge high-quality fittings. It’s one of our sharp knives in the industry. Fuel, oil, power steering, automatic transmission, clutch or radiator line are all custom-made in-house by FLI. The lightest motorsport hose in the world is the 910 series. Other options are the 810 series which is stainless steel braided. Most fittings are double swivel which makes installation much easier and serviceable. Drop off a mockup version and FLI can likely crimp up some custom lines the same day if all parts are in stock. Or if you need any custom lines made on the car, we can accommodate that as well.
