So Chris for my 76 stock 2.0 ltr.I need to send you 79.00 for the set and that will cover everything? Can you tell me what else I will have to do to change my fuel lines fittings?ect?

$79 is for the two piece tunnel line set including shipping. For a more nearly stock installation I recommend the added engine compartment set. I don't recommend fittings unless you are going racing. You will also need some new high pressure fuel hose, 5/16" dia. Plan on using all new rubber hoses. New fuel filter too.
The exhaust will be in the way of installing these lines so plan on dong the installation when you have that off for another reason. It's easiest of course with the engine out too. There's a clip in the tunnel near the rear, accessed through the wiring harness pathway, that holds the stock lines down.
You might need to replace the small grommets in the firewall that the lines go through. A little silicone or ptfe spray lube will help the stainless slide easily through the rubber grommets. Preferably, any hose clamps you use are of the full sleeve type to prevent cutting into the rubber.
The job can be done alone but a second pair of hands makes it go smoother. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
That should do it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Do you still have any of these? I'd like to get one for my 74 with dual carbs. Not really sure of the size line I need though.

Just wanted to give this a big thumbs up!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/thumb3d.gif)

With the help of Clay and Travis, We installed the fuel lines I ordered a month or so ago. They were a BREEZE to install and didn't have to drop the engine at all... I did have to take out the shifter to be able to guide the lines back down the center tunnel.

EXCELLENT PRODUCT Chris! Well worth the money.

I was laying under my car the other day, wondering if it really would be possible to do without dropping the motor, did you have to remove the Exhaust?

Nope, Didn't have to remove anything but the old plastic lines. What you will need is help and a lift to get the car far enough above you that you can see what you're doing.

When we did it, it was at Clay's place so we had the car up on the hydraulic lift in his garage. Clay as at the rear of the car pushing the new solid lines trough. I was in the cockpit guiding the lines through the center tunnel and making sure they didn't get hung up on anything. To do that I needed to take out my center console, lift the carpet and take out the two plates at the front and rear of the tunnel.

Someone else (I think it was JR) was in front to to guide the ends through the rubber grommet and then push the grommet back in place.

The whole things took about 1/2 an hour and we had to do it twice. The first time around we put the lines in the wrong sides and had trouble at the front end getting them to fit into the grommet correctly.

Big plus side was that we didn't have to take ANYTHING off, and the engine stayed firmly bolted in the car! :-)

cha'ching

Now I know what I am getting myself for groundhog day

Look at one of those swamp coolers things they use on the vintage bugs for your cooling, sort of weak, but better than nothing. I have never seen an A/C setup that I liked, worked well and did not require hacking up the car for any air cooled VW product, but they have made a lot of progress on that front.

I ordered a set one evening, got an email from Chris the next morning confirming which style, then received them 2 days later. Service doesn't get any better than that!

No PMs. eMail me if you need additional info.
Here's my webpage with details and Paypal "buy now" buttons: Fuel Lines Webpage
Your best choice IMO is the late style 4pc set for $129. You will also need some 5/16" high pressure fuel hose and some good hose clamps.
You can find lots of installation pictures and details on this site, various topics over the past 1 1/2 years.

I just received these the other day. Very nice product and easy to install. For saftey reason alone you should replace your old lines, but these look kick ass in you car to boot... Well, what you can see of them.

Order received.

Mine arrived on Friday. They really are beautiful. Good packing job, too. I'd wondered if some gorilla would kink them enroute.

My lines are 36 years old although not leaking I think I will get a set just for piece of mind. Can you just get the engine compartment ?
