Where could I find pre bent hoses ?

Do they make pre bent metal hoses for the vaccum like or fuel line from pump to carb for a 1962 235 straight 6? If so where could I find it? Thank you

You can make them. We believe in you!

Seriously, pretty easy. Make a pattern from a coat hanger or welding wire, mark your line with a Sharpie on where to make your bends, and have at it. Bending line is fun. Don't forget to put fittings on first before you flare...

Like jayoldschool said it's not that bad to do make a pattern out of coat hanger then go down to O'reame's or Vato Zone rent a tubing bender and a double flaring tool kit and go to it. You have to pay full price for both items but when you return them you get ALL your money back including the tax. It's a great tool rental they both have.


We believe in you. Sure wish I was closer I would gladly help you knock it out.

Haha Vato zone.

I’ve never thought about using a coat hanger, that’s a good idea man.

Ha no worries!
Wouldn’t happen to know what size of line I should use for the fuel line and vaccum?

Don't forget to buy extra line. The first two tries don't count! (At least for me...)
