Original Steel Fuel Line

[tmcarthur]

​Does anyone have a MkI or II with the original fuel line and mechanical pump still on their car? If so, would you mind taking a few pictures for me? I'm looking for pictures of the line where it comes up, makes 2 or 3 coils and then connects to the mechanical pump. Appreciate all the help, thanks!

The fuel line coil ended with AN5-41016 (June, 1960), but there's a picture on page 28 of Terry Horler's Original Sprite & Midget.

I have an original uninstalled fuel line from a January 1959 Bugeye. Would photos of that help?

Yes! Thanks Ray. (tam.613@hotmail.com)

Also, would you be interested in selling the uninstalled line?

Ray I'm curious to see what it is supposed to look like.

Been out of pocket for a few days. Will post photos this evening.

What does it look like at the other end where the line connects to the pump?

I buggered up the attachments. Will re-post later tonight.

Thanks Ray,
The pictures are very helpful.
If you'd be interested in selling the fuel line, please let me know.

I love it, knowledge transfer from bugeyeparts.com to BCF. Ray posts info on BCF and this morning this guy was asking on bugeyeparts.com for this exact same thing. Glad I could refer him and help him on his way. I love the way we can collectively share knowledge to keep our cars running and to bring them back to life.

Not for sale but I'd be happy to take dimensions if that might help.

The new fuel line may be nickle-copper instead of steel, but I think this will work well. Thanks again for the pics, Ray!
