Default replacement fuel line 1969

Got a new replacement fuel line, the large line from tank to fuel pump, and the bends don't seem to be correct at the frame box. Anyone shed any light on past issue with one of these lines or is it me?
Thanks for any help...

Hio R68,
I'm not sure what you're referring to as the "frame box"?
The kick-up at the trailing arm?
Regards,
Alan

Thanks for the pic, I sent you a PM asked about a pic. Yeah I can see yours matches mine but doesn't match the original fit for the line. The box is where the rear section connects.

Hi R,
Remember my photo shows a 71 WITH a fuel return line too.
I'm NOT sure if the routing for the supply line is the same as your 69 line would be or not.
Sorry!
Regards,
Alan

Here's my 69. SS lines from Classic Tube as I remember. Took a little tweaking until I was satisfied but all the clips are in their original holes. This is an enlargement cropped from another photo so resolution is not the best.




Here's what the original lines look like from the factory

YES...NOT all fuel lines are the same. Some vendors sell crap where the bends in the line are NOT correct.
