Swagelok for tube products.
www.swagelok.com
For the 6mm, use regular stainless or aluminum 1/4" tube.
Use a Swagelok 1/4 to 1/4 union (Part number: SS-400-6). $9.50
For 8mm use the Part number: SS-500-6 ($10.50)
They have metric reducing unions also but they are harder to get and more expensive.
This fitting requires no tricky flares, but instead uses a patented double ferrule.
All you do is cut your line clean, slide this on, turn it 1.25 revs and you are done.
It squeezes down perfectly on the 6mm tube and makes a perfect connection to the 1/4 tube section.
Swagelok products are not cheap, but of amazing quality.
Once you have used the no-flare "Tubelok" system you will never flare again.

Hi Tom;
Swagelock is great but this is a temporary, get-it-home, fix. Once home you replace the damaged tube, don't you?
Cheers;
Walt

Giday Walt. That was a fine little dissertation on the tube fitting the other day. I've
got to plan ahead for my fuel and brake tubing and was wondering if you know of a
website available outlining the howto's, do's and don'ts for a good installation.
By the way, Walt...your name, along with a few others was written in the back of
one of my Fairchild 24 manuals . C-FDAE was the registration of the 24 I got out
of Prince George but it spend some time down near Vancouver too. Small world.
My engine got sent down to Colorado to be installed in the original Smilin' Jack
F24 and the airframe went to Cincinnati.
