I am trying to install my stainless steel fuel lines on my 72 4 and have encountered some strange stuff where the lines exit the tunnel in to the engine compartment. anyone have a pic of how it should be??? this is how mine is.
 Not too sure whats up with the 1/4" steel plate on the clutch cable... Needless to say I have work to do before installing the stainless lines... |

The missing section of the tube sure complicates things. The sheet metal at the firewall is kinda thin. When I installed my new one, I had the advantage of having the lower tunnel exposed. I added reinforcement at the inside to help prevent future damage. If the tube at the front is not secure then the tube can move in the tunnel. This is a very common problem. The rear repair may require cutting some of the tunnel to expose the tube enough to make a repair.
