I have my 76 - 914 engine and fuel tank out of my car during my frame off restoration. I want to replace the 2 plastic/nylon fuel lines in the tunnel with an OE product and not use the stainless or mild steal fuel line. I want to go back original and after 40 years of service I want to replace the plastic lines. Looks like everyone says go stainless but I want to go with the OE plastic.
Does anyone have a part number of a replacement plastic/nylon tubing of the same size as the OE plastic tubing. I think it is 7MM OD size. Auto Atlanta told me to just blow out the OE plastic lines and don't waste your time replacing. Looks like an easy replacement while the car is apart and all I need to know is a P/N of a plastic/nylon fuel tubing I can get @ NAPA. Thanks |
