Long steel fuel line.

Back in the '70's when I had a Healey, someone gave me a few long steel fuel lines that travel along the frame. Well, it's 30+ years later, I no longer have the car, and I came across them in the barn rafters. Question is, are they worth saving for really nuts restorations, these NOS parts? I have some old Jags now and the lines and brass ends look the same. I was going to cut and use them on the Jags, as they usually rot out.

Now, before everyone chimes in and brow beats me about destroying sacred parts, I don't know exactally what they fit as I don't have a parts book to check the part numbers. And they are near impossible to sell and send, they're 6 or 7 feet long. But, if you have a good argument, like what if they fit an XK120 and YOU were to cut them, I might save them for Import Carlisle next year.

Comments??

phil, with you computer you can go to moss motors fuel system page and look at item #31 if they look like that id like first dibs on all you have, thanks anthony 7777.
 
Trouble is, almost all British cars, not just the Healeys, with an engine in the front and a fuel tank in the back, use these long steel pipes. They all look the same, especially in a parts drawing. I gave the part number
- AHH 5288 - to a friend and he'll look up the application.

Petrol pipe, pump to flex-pipe:

BJ7/BJ8 = AHH 9386
BT7/BN7 = 11B2380
BN6 = 11B2380
BN4 = 11B2190, cedes to = AHB5399 (also see AHB5390)

I do not have parts catalogs for the 100 models
