Anyone making the engine bay latch guide tube?

I don't like mine.... too many scars on it.

the metal tube with the threaded end right?

Just to be clear, I'm not talking about the cable/wire. those are definitely still available.

if worst came to worst you could fab one up out of metal tube using the original as a guide for bending it and doing lots of test fitting. cut a thread on the end of it for the pull handle. likely a metric tube size.

probably what i would have to do stuck down here.

be nice if someone has one lying around on a shelf.
fairly obscure little body shell part.

what happened to the one in yours that it is "scarred".
can't be redeemed?

If Rich doesn't have one, seems like a scavenge part. Not common to need, should be a few out there if someone's willing to do the work to remove properly.

Both sides were over flowing with acorns when I got the car. So, when you look at my avatar photo, just know that there is a couple pounds of acorns between the hell hole, driver side, and in both rockers. Ziebart saved the longs for the most part, but the tube got badly pitted. I could patch, but it’s more work than installing a new part.

@Van B - had the same issue with my last build. I'll admit here on this forum that I actually used the return line from my SS fuel line kit from Tangerine racing - sorry Chris (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) . Didn't need it for my carb setup. I just carefully bent it to match my existing, rusted out one, cut the excess, zap-zip, and "done"!

Nice! I think I just mig'd the tube to the back of the round washer thing that had the threaded end on it. Brazing would be better IMO. Haven't tackled that skill yet. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

thanks Rich, I can't quite tell but it looks like the far end is the lower end and has rust on it as well?

NM, I posted too quick. is that a weld repair on the lower end?

No that is Tar/coat.
The reason it is as nice as Im sure you are experiencing, that lower alternate hell "Hole" tends to catch crap & rust that tube at its lowest point as it passes through the FW.

No! I lied. At the firewall you need a brazed on piece with threads. The tap story must have been a fantasy of how things might have been. I rescued the machined bit from the rusted tube, drilled out all the rust and then used my favorite silver brazing rod. Sorry to mislead.
