good work, I just wanted to add a couple of things... one is that I
think that you're supposed to double clamp (two hose clamps at each
rubber hose to metal pipe joint) them - there's something like 100 psi
of pressure on that fuel and you *do not* want it to leak.  Also, new
OEM fuel lines are still available for most of our cars and not
incredibly expensive (like $150-180 for a pair for the 4kq, eg).
