Re: Making new fuel lines. What do I need?

The fit is pretty darn good. There is a tad bit of tweaking and bending to get the fittings to line up to get the threads started... but they went in.

SS will last a long time and not rust... however it is a lot harder than mild steel OEM lines and it gets a little tiresome on the fingers doing the tweaking for fitment.

No line kit is going to be 100% to factory and not need any tweaking...
