Now that Josef mentions it the compression fitting will only fit one of the
five hoses in your picture(second from top). My other engine has that same
compression fitting and is a stock 100. I was focusing on finding the
compression fitting and not paying that much attention. Now I have to check
the frame tube to see what that fitting looks like. Such fun.

Hello Curt,
Many thanks for the pictures.
What puzzles me a bit is, all 5
lines seem to have the
same end fittings. I learnt, but maybe I am wrong, the
early BN1 100s had two
different end fittings, as the fuel line coming from
the back of the car already
had a male end soldered to the line. As said, in
this I might be wrong, but
Keith Clapham told me that and passed this info to
one of our suppliers to do
them that way, and I think he should know.
I will
do a picture of both aftermarket lines (with
different fittings, one for
early 100s, one for late ones; the late one has
fittings like yours) you can
get here from a UK supplier. Will send
tomorrow.
Perhaps you can give me more
advice, if we are right or
wrong.
Cheers,
Josef

OK Guys
Here are some photos.
The clear plastic line
was what was on my BN1 when I purchased it.
"VISFLEX Made in
England."
The braided steel line with the blue plastic tracer is what
we believe came
on the cars.
The "TITEFLEX Made in UK" line is
very high quality an this will be what I
put back on my car.
The
fourth flex steel line is just another period aftermarket replacement.
I
cannot read the tag.
Also pictured are the original BSP compression nut
along with the
replacement sold by Doug Reid. The threads of course are
the same. the
original were plated brass versus natural, no finish on
the replacement.
Cheers,
Curt
