I am new to the list and have enjoyed reading all the comments and
rants.

I have a '57 TR3A that needed all of the typical transplants (sills,
rockers, floors, lower fenders, trunk floor, ect..) and I am finally
starting reassembly.  The first thing giving me major problems is the
fuel tank filler tube.  How the h*ll do you get it back together.

The hose will go on by itself, but there is not enough room with the
tube attached.  The old hose is somewhat distorted, but I cannot
envision there being enough room even with a new piece of hose the same
length as the old one.  Will I have to cut the hose shorter and if I do
will there be room for clamps?

TIA
