Marketplace - Parts wanted Type 44

[Dave C]

I dropped the apostrophe's and it enabled the ad to go through.

Thanks for the tip!

I will most likely be fabbing my own fuel lines so I appreciate all the
tips on doing that.  I found a detailed post from Fed Monroe telling of his
experience with fuel lines.  He said he used metal once and they began
rusting in short order.  The next time he used nylon and liked the way it
turned out.  So I'll give it a try.  I'll be under the car during the next
few days, hoping to get it back together soon.

Cobram ... thanks for the BTDT, incl trying an exhaust shop for a universal
bracket.

Thanks,
Dave C.
