Posted August 8, 200717 yr comment_217841 similar to this one, except of course with the lines still in. I've searched the archives here for a few hours over the past couple of weeks & found some that are close, but I'm hoping someone can give me one that is at the same angle as the one I've taken of my engine area. I took my fuel lines/brake lines to get replated. Now I can't find my diagram to specify which lines go in what groove in the bracket. I don't need a restoration photo, just preferably one with the motor out. I just need to clarify that I've got my ducks in a row before I climb under there tonight &/or in the morning. I know, I could figure it out but it's been so hot here lately I am taking the easy way out asking for help rather than trying to figure it out (or look further for my diagram). Thanks for your help.

August 8, 200717 yr comment_217845 this pic of Ed's car should do...maybe? Where did you get them replated? Was it costly? Did you have to replace any of the nuts?

August 8, 200717 yr comment_217848 Replated? You lucky man, mine were so perforated with rust that I had to replace them. My son and I spend hours hand bending every line. What a pain.Good luck getting them back in place.

August 9, 200717 yr Author comment_217871 Those shots were precisely what I was looking for. Thanks again!I got the brake lines, fuel lines, & two sets brackets & screws replated at a local place here east of Atlanta. They charged me $100. I had new OEM style brake lines from Classic Tube & the old fuel lines. The fuel lines were a little pitted & had some scratches, but they're ok, not the greatest. I did have to have them redo a couple of lines because they were saying how the small diameter makes them difficult to plate correctly. The second time around came out good.I started to try to get some new tube & make my own fuel lines. After about an hour I had to decide to use my old ones or get new ones. When I was told a month's wait for new ones I decided to go for replating the old ones.

August 9, 200717 yr comment_217888 Where did you get brackets? I've been looking for some for a while now...Do you have the shop's name and contact info?Thanks,Steve Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/25145-need-help-w-a-fuel-lines-photo/#findComment-217888 Share on other sites More sharing options...
August 9, 200717 yr Author comment_217905 They're my old brackets. I also had accumulated an extra two sets of them from my old parts cars. I had them all done so I could pick & choose which ones looked best to put on the car.Now the rubber insulators, that's a different story. I've been soaking them for a day to see if I can get them a little more pliable.The shop that I had them done is at georgiaplating.com. I just picked them because they were 10 miles down the road from me. Usually I get a guy who frequents the Datsun boards to plate my items but the fuel lines were just too big to ship. Frankly, he took a little longer a couple of times than I wanted (keep in mind mailing), but I think his quality was a little better than the local place here.
