Hi all -
Will you please give me some pointers about tube bending re: tools, line stock, and tips? I'm gonna try to bend a pump-to-carb fuel line for my '54 3100 235 with Rochester B carb, "angled port" glass bowl fuel pump, and Durex-Moraine glass bowl fuel filter. 1/4"ID; 5/16"OD steel line (not stainless). Never done it before / not afraid to try.
My goal is to make the line look factory original. I bought pre-bent lines from two suppliers - - neither of them fit correctly.
> TOOLS: Which, if any, of these HF bending tools would be an acceptable choice? Any better choices for the money from other suppliers? I will probably use the tool only once ... or a few times if I screw up.
"Tube Bending Pliers""1/8" to 1/4" Tube Bender""Tubing Bender"> LINE STOCK: Where can I buy steel line locally? Looks like I can use a 3' line with premade flared ends and brass fittings. Advance Auto Parts has only black brake lines. I may cut off one flared end and use a compression fitting to connect to the Durex fuel filter - as shown in the 1954 Accessories Installation Manual.
> TIPS?
Thanks as always for your help,
