I know we have covered this before but I can't find it in the classic threads...
What is the problem with using FLAPS "off the shelf" brake lines to replace "in Tunnel" fuel lines as long as it meets the I/D requirements... SS tubing is expensive but can be done through a local hose shop... 2-OH! |

Thanks guys...
Dave, I plan to flare the ends at the bulkhead and make the corners with AN fittings, thereby eliminating the opportunity to kink...Aluminum would certainly be easier to work with though... Anthony...I would not consider driving a teener very long with the original fuel lines in the car...Just my personal preference...I just don't like 30+ year old plastic and gasoline...Probability always catches up... When I removed the engine this time for restoration, the fuel lines were so brittle, they shattered when I tried to remove the clamp... One of the folks on this board has an Avitar that certainly made the decision very clear for me... 2-OH! |
