Hoses from TS Flightlines
Over 2 years ago Tom from TS Flightlines made me a bunch of brake and fuel lines, including a very short 2" hard line with a 3/4" rather tight joggle to it.
Last week I had an issue with that short line. I contacted Tom who immediately made me a short flexible hose to see if it would fit; it wouldn't. He then had me take pictures from a bunch of angles with a ruler in the shot. From those he made a new hard line which fits perfectly. .... Then he refused to take any payment, despite my insistence. he claims it was "under warranty."
Tom is a great guy to work with. His responsiveness is nearly immediate. And his abilities are impressive. I strongly recommend him if you need any hoses made - hard lines or flexible.

I sure can second that opinion! I and others have ALWAYS had top flight service from Tom and would not even consider anyone else to do our work.

Great post!
I purchased the brake kit from Tom. He added a special touch of black tubing around the braided line for appearance. Great job, perfect fit, on time delivery and answered all questions personally. Highly recommend Tom!

Ditto
Good experience working with Tom. I had made an incorrect measurement also and Tom fixed me up.
Might be just me but out of 6 or 8 hoses 1 is bound to need "adjusting"

I had Tom make a very specialized short line with two angled fittings that had to be clocked perfectly. After 3 iterations, he nailed it! He is a great guy and doesn't stop until you are happy and have a product that works.

Kudos for Tom too!
If you look up customer service in the dictionary, you will find Tom's picture.
I had TS Flightlines manufacture some very specific fuel and brake lines for my RV6A cabin. Both flexible and rigid lines. One combo flexible/rigid fuel line didn't quite fit. Tom made it a tad shorter and fits like a dream now. No charge and Tom didn't even allow me to pay for shipping. I will be returning to Tom for my firewall forward lines.

Totally agree. He should teach a course.

Another Satisfied Customer
Based on VAF recommendations and reviews - I decided it was past time to replace my 2003 FWF Aeroquip hoses. I updated to Teflon - purchasing from TS Flightlines. I was not disappointed. Tom was very responsive and a pleasure to work with. I ordered my custom hoses on Monday and they arrived that Friday! All the hoses fit - no leaks - a quality product. A guy couldn't ask for more. Thank You, to Tom and his crew!
