Hello,

I am planning to build a rigid stainless steel fuel line for my engine. It is a 2276 with weber IDA and DDS short manifolds.

I've never done a stainless steel fuel line before, and never for that kind of engine.

What would be the ideal tube diameter in millimeters ? I often read 8 millimeters for the fuel line instead of the stock one. Is it the inside or outside diameter ?

I plan to make a fuel line like this model (see picture). The 2 rounds are loops to prevent from vibrations (like a hard spring). Do you think the loops are usefull or can I make a straight line? The fitting will be early AN still. But what is the best size? What kind of banjos do you recommend ?

Thanks for your help. I will really appreciate it. If someone already do it, don't hesitate to post photos  :)

paintshop?

cool idea, but there were some thoughts on expansion of a hard line in another topic some time ago.

Thanks a lot for your answer. If you have some details and dimensions, I will really appreciate it. The line looks good  8)

just getting the front wings done because of pickling and a crack in the paint on the front quarter panel ;) should be mint again then for a while :)

Anyone else has some info ?

like i said, use the search function. i haven't got time right now, but there was a topic on this 2months ago or so.
use "hard line"

Yes, I already search and read the post a few days ago.
But their is no tech info like diameter, AN fitting sizes etc etc and I really need them. Any help ?

Eric (HotrodVW) is the man you're looking for, he does this for a living.
Try sending him a PM, perhaps?

What size is your inlet valve in the carb?  2.5mm?  If so, a tube with 5mm ID or larger would be more than enough.
