John,
You have expressed my phlosophy on restoration to a T. I also have
the same reservations on the replacement fuel line. I had almost
resigned myself to accept the new braided steel abomination (metric
threads and all!!!).
I did keep all the original fittings just in case I found a source of the
bare fuel line. I thought I could crimp/swage the new line to the old
fittings. But I haven't had a chance to really do any research in that
direction as yet.
Please let me and the list know if you hear of a more reasonable
replacement for the original steel braid banjo style fittings.
