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! |

Actually, the stock plastic lines are very very good stuff. They are generally still fine after 30 years!! Where they go bad is where they are exposed to heat--which means in the engine bay. If the lines are still pliable, they are still fine, but once they get stiff they're a fire waiting to happen.
I think most people view it as "cheap insurance" to replace the plastic lines with metal. I'm not certain that the stock pre-75 lines are even available any more. --DD |
