Left Side. Brake line over Charcoal Canister Line

Right side. Why a big and small fuel line. This is a 1971 frame.

It was like that when I bought the frame. I seriously doubt it came from St Louis that way.

Hi 72,
The odd thing is the hose is held in place with very small tower clamps which are difficult to find in that size!

The frame did not have front springs when I bought it. It had been sitting in a shed for an unknown number of years. The body was used to replace one on a race car with fiberglass damage. I think it was SCCA.

The frame is currently at a frame shop. (When I called they said it had to be a rolling chassis so I had to put springs in it.) Getting it checked cost $50. Cheap insurance for the foundation of the project.
