Formed fuel line - - help!
I spent several aggravating hours trying to form the metal fuel line for my 1978 Indy Pace Car. L48. (The line from the fuel pump up to the Q-Jet carb) The local parts stores only sell the straight lines. I have bending tools, but just can't get the sharp corners near the fuel pump. Does anyone know where I can get a pre-formed fuel line? Thanks so much for your help!

Re: Formed fuel line - - help! (mapman)
I bent one, but I had the benefit of a repro fuel line to use as a pattern that I got from Zip. It was easier to copy then to bend freeform, and I used a different fitting so I couldn't use the repro line as-is.
