I bought a set of steel lines for my Bugeye over the phone with assurances that
they had done sets for Bugeyes before. They even asked me what year my car
was. What I got was a generic set of tubes that must be made up to fit many
years of Midgets and Sprites. It had extra lines like for a dual line system.
The tubing that applied to my car was usually bent in the wrong direction in
the middle, or worse on the ends. Next time I'll buy a roll of tubing, a
bender and a double flare kit from MiniMania and roll my own. More
satisfaction and fun that way anyway. And a lot cheaper!
