[Spridgets] Fuel lines for Bugeye with a 1275 engine

[Rick Fisk]

Where is your pump located?  The Bugeye originally had a steel line all the way from the tank to the engine mounted mechanical pump, with no rubber hoses at all.  If your electric pump is mounted in front of the rear axle I would install a steel line from there to the engine with a short rubber hose connecting the steel line to the front carb.

Since the 1275 doesn't have a block mounted fuel pump I need to replace the  fuel line and feel it would be best to use something more durable than rubber.  Any suggestions?
