Hi Ernest,

Suggest you use an automotive synthetic rubber hose with hose clamps. 

These last nearly forever

and can be checked annually.

The riveter from Zenith is a good bet if you've a few A4s that need to 

be installed with a dome head.

 hello all.  I pulled my wings off this weekend and trailered my plane to the paint shop. I had to cut the fuel lines, wires for strobes, and the pitot tubing.  



 What sort of fitting should I use when I re-connect the pitot tubing? 



 I see also that Zenith has a riveter that has a special domed head on it.  Do I need to buy this riveter or can I use the one I have? (A4 blind rivets)



 As always, thanks for your help.

Yes you will need the domed head.  You can make your own.  Head the flat 

head one with a torch, propane will do) just until the color changes. 

That is to lose the temper.  Then use a bigger drill bit to drill it out 

a little.  I forget the size drill bit, but I'm sure you can figure it 

out.  Larry, N1345L
