Listerati, I am getting back on the upgrade to my Bugeye.  When I got the
car it had a 948 engine, the fuel line was rubber from the tank (actually
the replacement electric pump} to the engine.  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?
thanks, Hal

Moss has one available for the later cars with a rear mounted pump, but it's=
 expensive!  I would just go to the local auto parts store, buy some steel t=
ube, and bend my own.  I don't have a great photo available, but you can see=
 in this shot it runs along the channel on the passenger side and then goes u=
p into the engine compartment and across to the carbs.  It's fastened to the=
 channel along the floor with hairpin shaped clips.
