Looking for a premade fuel line

289ACE · #1 (**permalink**) 07-28-2007, 07:52 AM

I currently have a rubber fuel line on my car (1956 AC Ace with a 289) and would like to replace it with a hard line. Does anyone make a a pre-bent hard line for an orginal Cobra frame configuration?On the Ace the fuel tank is under the trunk so I would have to make an extension to get to it, but if the rest was available from somewhere, it would be a good start.
Thanks,
Jay

Call Paul Fix at Classic Tube.
He had made the lines for the CSX 4000 Cars in the past. I am not sure about solid fuel lines because the 427 seemed to use cloth braised but I haven't seen the new versions yet so, the might be solid. I know he did the brake lines.

289ACE -

You located in the NorCal area?

If so, you might want to check out American Street Rod (high performance plumbing) - ask for Jay (1-800-990-1912) or go on-line and send an email (www.amstreetrod.com). He has redone all of my lines for fuel and brakes (on my Contemporary rep) using stainless steel and pricing is pretty good.

I'm down in southern california and there are a couple of guys who said they can make a custom line for me (they'll have an estimate early this week) but I thought if there was something pre-bent it would simplify things.
Steve,
Thanks for the lead on classice tube. I'll try them tommorrow.
