WTB: Plastic fuel lines from engine compartment Options

[grogthegreat]

Anyone have the two plastic fuel lines from the engine compartment?

One of mine on my 74 got partially melted through because it was touching the main battery cable when it shorted to the underside of the trunk near the starter! It feels like it it about to burst and I don't want to waste any expensive fuel!

Let me know how much you want with shipping to Escondido CA (92026)

Thanks!

Actually Jeff, it seems there was a recall on the lines in addition to the battery cover. I am actually working with Brumos right now to get to the bottom of this recall. There was a kit available, including replacement fuel lines. What they were and what kind, are unknown at this point. Brumos is trying to find out, but they, USA headquarters in ATL and Germany do not know as of yet.

I included specifics from Porsche at the time of the recall in the introductory post in this battery thread I started:

If I may throw my two cents in, for those of you who want to remain plastic for whatever reason (I see the argument of pros and cons on both sides, and Jeff did bring up some good points to look out for), if the 75 and 76 models did come with black lines, it might be better to switch to the white or clear lines for a very important reason - the white and clear lines will show visible signs of age when the time comes (yellowing, browning, cracking, etc.). The black lines will camouflage and discoloration, appearing normal. Better to see the effects of them getting old to know when to change them.
