Marketplace - Parts wanted Type 44

FLAPS should have coiled steel line in various sizes just for this
purpose, it's usually got a green anticorrosion coating that holds up
pretty well.  You can use a brake line bender to contort them to your
needs.  I never changed the whole line on the non-Q 5KS (just patched
with hose), but IIRC on the Q I had to cut/splice the line with rubber
hose to avoid dropping the rear axle.  If you go the flexible hose route,
use hose spec'd for fuel application.

For the hanger you can substitute universal hangers or strapping
depending on the location, there's a universal hanger which looks like an
"8".  You may have to get the hanger at an exhaust shop as FLAPS usually
have limited selection on exhaust parts these days.

When the OEM lines were available I almost bought it, the one piece pre
bent lines required taking apart and dropping more than it was worth to
make it fit, bending up some new line and making it fit was much easier.

Going from sketchy memory here, as it 's been at least a decade since
doing this, good news is they're still looking good with no leaks since
then.

BCNU,
Experience is the name everyone gives to their mistakes.
