Pretty much all of my other "rubber" lines disintegrated during disassembly so I'm none to keen about re-installing this piece.
Suggestions?
Hello everyone! As of today, we have 90 registered! That's going to be a great turn out!
Just a reminder that rally registration closes on May 9 so that we can place our t-shirt order for the rally.
If you are coming, but have not sent in your registration, do it TODAY or TOMORROW!
After that, we will not accept any orders for t-shirts. We order a few extra of the most common sizes for the rally. You can only get what is available.
Have you all made your hotel reservations? If not, do it NOW! If our blocked rooms are full at Laquinta Inn, you'll have to find other lodging.
See you all soon!

Needing that double-S fuel pump line
I am at a loss how to replace the fuel line with the multiple bends at the fuel pump. I'm not sure I can make conventional fuel line make all those bends without kinking.

Thanks for the straightening-out.

Re: Needing that double-S fuel pump line
Buy some quality fuel line then cut to length bend it to estimated length
Put heavy-ish copper wire in the hose(heavy enough to hold the hose in the shape you need)(a coat hanger will work too). Bend a little more than you want to allow for recoil. Dunk in boiling water until completely heated. Dunk in cold water to set. Pull out wire. Voila, formed hose. Trim the ends if long better to estimate a bit long.
