Fuel line protector question
 

So after looking at several pictures, where is that spring looking protector on the fuel suspposed to be? I see some with just a few inches out of the hole and some going from the hole down to the frame flat outside the kickup. Also, where is that sleeve supposed to be. Here is a pic of my spring and some shots of the line in the frame.

Its right where its supposed to be

That’s exactly where mine is.

That looks exactly like the original in my ‘67! :thumbs:

Thanks guys. I was beginning to doubt mine after seeing several with just a couple inches of the coil sticking out at the kickup.

It was probably cold out and it was experiencing shrinkage.
