Hi all. I'm in the process of replacing the flexible fuel lines in the engine bay.
Currently, the car has Ethanol resistant black, chord braided hose from the bulkhead to the carb. The steel pipe on the bulkhead appears to be a good fit 5/16 I'd. The carb end has 1/4 inlet and is not a good fit. Its loose and has to have a hose clip tightened right up. The original was a simple spring clip.
I want to fit the correct steel braided flexible pipe with the correct rubber ends, as original.
I've got a new steel braided flexible pipe with rubber ends which is 1/4 I'd for the carb inlet.
So, how was this made to fit the larger steel bulkhead pipe originally? I doubt the flexible pipe had different diameter ends, and there was no fuel filter with different diameter ends.
I know I could fit a filter but I'd like to know what the production arrangement was.
Thanks
Jeff
