Been trying to make them out of 3/8 tubing. I see a kit on E-Barf for $189!!! That seems way too expensive for my cheap a$$. The problem is getting a tight enough bend, close to the carb's body, to clear the base. What have you guys used? I don't care about originality, just function, safety, and so long as it doesn't look like a hack job. Thanks-

I'd be curious what the bends look like on that 189 set especially if they are stainless , the 3/8 fuel full body lines I have seen in stainless have kinked bends . You can't easily, at least i haven't been able to yet, do those tight bends by hand ????

My home town parts store is coming up empty. I got them it from year one but I was at pepboys and saw one that was similar and it may have been for a 3/8 line fitting , if you can go without 100% stock look one of them on each carb would make doing this easier with 3/8 line
