Projects Building My First Roadster in San Francisco

Yeah I’m just wondering if the banjo fitting is threaded you could put a different kind in.

 

braided stainless flex line with a mpt on one end and a flare on the other.
I made up the carb inlet brazing the male flare on the ell inlet line...
Clear as mud?

 

You can get pre bent fuel hose, decide what angle you need and google say 45 degree fuel hose.

 

I have inserted a piece of steel brake line inside the rubber hose then I can bend it to make it go the way I want it to. It comes out looking like a preformed line but is just the regular stuff off the roll from the parts house.

 

Could use ni-cu as well, it's easier to work with.

 

The old Jeep carbs I got for my car had brake line fittings inserted at the inlets to make the 90 degree turn. I guess the last guy was using steel brake lines for fuel.

 

Bend a piece of hard line, cut the rubber line shorter, double flare the rubber hose end of the hard line and use a correct threaded fitting on the other end, slip the rubber hose ontp the hard line which is bent enough to fix your angle and put on a hose clamp. That or unscrew and rotate your fuel pump top

 

In my mind this makes sense, can you run a little longer piece and "roll" it or "spiral" it, between the two? You may go from a 2" piece to a 5" pieces of hose??

And just me being picky, I would turn your hose clamps so the "extra" piece is pointing down and towards the intake, for a smoother, clean look.

 

Who woulda' thunk there were so many options?
