Hi Jonathan,

I purchased my fuel clamps from Volkscafe.  They were .70 each.  They will not cut the fuel lines because the edges are
rolled slightly.  I have no interest in Volkscafe (although as much money as I have spent there I ought to!).

the parlour door opened and a man stepped in on whom I had never set my eyes before.  He was a pale, tallowy
creature, wanting two fingers of the left hand, and though he wore a cutlass, he did not look much like a fighter.
I had always my eye open for seafaring men, with one leg or two, and I remember this one puzzled me.  He was not
sailorly, and yet he had a smack of the sea about him too."

I have been planning to replace the fuel lines on my '82 a.c. in early
January also..

I have heard about how low the quality of replacement lines can be,
and how some clamps cut into the lines.  I wish to avoid poor quality
but can't remember where to get good lines and good clamps for my
replacement job.  I will be ordering from an online source and will be
doing all of the engine lines, and possibly the tank lines as well.

I know there are some vendors on this list, and don't want to create
any trouble, I just want to do the job right, and with the right parts
so if anyone knows of a high-quality fuel line source (reasonably
priced too if possible) let me know.

Thanks
Jonathan Poole<<
