When I got my tubing from Classic Tube I believe there were three lines. Two
under the car and one from the pump to the carbs. I have a post 60,000 TR3A and
the lines were for an earlier model -- actually they used Fred Thomas' old
lines to make the pattern. The ones I got do come from the passenger side of
the tank instead of the driver's side. They offered to take them back and if
I'd send them my old ones, they would send me a new set at no additional
charge.. mine were of copper and really not in good enough shape to copy, so I
just rebend the SS ones and went from there. McMaster Carr has a really nice
tubing bender I used.
That's all the imput I have. Any questions, let me know.
