I need to purchase metal fuel lines to bend myself for a stock 914-6. Anyone know
a vendor or shop that sells the correct sizes?
Thanks

What ever happened to Rotary14, he lives next to Dodger stadium. He use to sell them at Bruce’s swap meet. Bought mine from him.

Me too, about a year ago. Great service and product.

They both make great SS fuel lines. I think it depends upon which coast you live on. To answer the OP's question: I don't know where to source metric SS line. I know the speed shops stock SAE size lines.

I think he is looking for mild steel lines which, like you said, are available at your FLAPS. There is a good article on Pelican on making them from SAE sized lines. I was going to do that but by the time I figured in the tooling for bending and creating bubble fittings on the ends, I was approaching the cost of pre-made lines from @http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showuser=3977 . Plus, I was able to source all the other bits needed at the same time.

I used truck brake line pipe,bends easily and won't corrode,I happened to have the correct bender in my toolbox.
You could use a brake line flaring tool to partially make a flare,I didn't do this as I'am running carbs on low pressure.

I bent mine myself. Went to Grainger to get the stainless tubing.
They sell a bunch of different versions of stainless tubing so I went to the Grainger in Rancho Cucamonga and worked with the counter guy to get what I needed.

Do you have the fuel lines bent or straight pipe. Either way I'm interested.
I'm Gene @ 818 9575791
Hope to speak with you soon.

Chris at Tangerine is making them, and probably 914 rubber now

They're pre-bent and he has a video showing the install. It can be done by one person but is easier with 2. He also sells the gaskets and screened filter that fit at the base of the fuel tank. You'll be pulling the tank so replace these bits when replacing the lines.
