Need a roll of tubing to re-plumb my set up. Anyone know a place to get it quick?

Summit is usually fast if you don't have a local source.

Your local Fluid Power Distributor will stock that (I do, tons of it and all of the fittings you would desire as well), also you local heavy truck distributor will as well, they would have a better selection of push on DOT fittings as well, as they are looking after body shops. After a front end collision with a heavy vehicle, there is a mess of fittings and tubing to be replaced due to air bag deployment.

I would also make sure those composite push on fittings are DOT, the ones on Summit there may be, but they don't look like it. The industrial pneumatic push on fittings are not made to take the constant vibration.
