replacement solid fuel pipes

Post by ben50 »

Hi,

I'm in the process of replacing the perrished fuel pipes and now the fuel tank too on my air-cooled CU T3.

I've managed to get all the flexible pipe, but can't find anywhere to buy the solid metal ones. Mine are all covered in surfice rust. Anyone got any ideas for a supplier. or an alternative?
Do I even need them to be solid or could I just redoo with flexible brake hose?

Cheers in advance,

Ben

Why would you use brake hose?

Ah whoops, I didn't mean brake hose, I meant fuel hose, sorry, I was obviously thinking about the other jobs that'll need doing soon too!

Thanks for the info though ;o)
