Marketplace - Parts wanted Type 44

[Dave C]

I sort of figured that out, and have bought the parts to fabricate the
lines out of nylon tubing.  I'm concerned about how to deal with the
section which snakes around inside the rear wheel well going up into the
tank.  It looks like the tubing will end up rubbing against the body, which
may be a problem.
