I bought a roll of tubing from Summit. Used the old line as a pattern and ended up with avoiding the splice/fitting. It isn't the easiest to bend, and I had enough left to make a fuel line for the hot rod.

What did you bend it with? When I talked to them they said it was hard to flare and I ended up with the aluminum line instead... Havent installed yet, would the ss be better?
Someday!

I just used a regular tubing bender, it was kind of hard, but doable. As far as flaring, I just "swedged" it a little. There's a rubber line to the tank and one to the fuel pump too.
The line from the pump to the carbs came with the kit for the tri-power. That kit didn't fit very well by the way, I had to rebend almost every piece. |cussing|

obviously with my car I had to make all the fuel lines and brake lines. I learned a very important rule as to flairing. Get the best flairing tool out there. I bought a $20 special and made a mess. I then borrowed a buddy's $100+ snap-on flare tool and made beautiful flares.



I'm spelling flare wrong aren't I? |rollysmile|

flare is correct, unless you have a left handed flaring tool, then you'd spell it flair. |laugh|
