Factory class slat, oil line question ( help)

Post by rustfarm » Tue Oct 08, 2013 9:43 am

What kind of oil lines should be on an early Dec. 41 slat (factory restoration)?
Rubber, or metal braid, or cloth loom?

Tks,

I believe they are a rubber hose with a rubberized cloth-textured finish...it appears to be a lacqured, shiney finish.
