Greetings!

I am a new 1966 sprite (x2!) owner. I have started cleaning up the front end of the car and will be installing new brake and clutch lines. I also wanted to replace the fuel line. However, no one seems to offer any sort of "fuel line kit" like they do for the brake lines.

I ordered a brake line kit from Moss.

What do you guys use for fuel lines, and can you provide a link, or specific part numbers?

Thanks!
(I will upgrade my account so I can start posting pics, too!)

I just use steel brake line from my local auto part store.
 
I used tubes and fittings from fedhillusa.com.
The tubing is much easier to bend than steel, and Fedhill has all the proper fittings.

Soft Copper line from an ice maker. Worked for Frank C., works on Bugsy. I did crack it once, underneath passenger seat where I had a long unsupported run, spliced in a short piece of rubber, added additional support bracket. Been that way for last 8 years w.o. a problem.
 
I used soft copper as well. Made sure it was supported well. Wrapped it with a piece of rubber tubing at each support point.
 
My car used copper fuel line too. Probably steel is preferable, but as long as you're careful to support it, prevent chafing, and use rubber line between points where there might be movement (like, between the body and engine), it should be fine.
