Fuel Tube
« on: January 03, 2011, 09:55:16 AM »
Folks,

So I was merrily re-assembling the carbs on my '73 350f when in a moment of profound stupidity, I broke the fuel connecting tubes between carb 1 and 2. This is the plastic tube 30mm long by 10mm across with two grooves on each end to hold o-rings (not the metal T-fitting for the fuel intake). I've looked at the parts manuals and cannot find a part number for this critter. Can anyone tell me what the part number is, who I might be able to source one from and whether tube is unique to the 350F or is interchangeable with its larger cousins?

Reminding myself to slow down on the re-assembly......

Thanks

Eric

hey,
Pretty sure that part is pretty much impossible to get judging by a previous thread I saw with a similar problem.
There was somebody making these out of metal though and selling them here on the forum but I dont know who it was.

Wait just found it:

Hopefully you can do some machining or have someone do some?

Any competent machinist (or even a semi-competent one like me) can make them.

Just take the other off when you de-rack and get a machinist to match the other side.

Have him make you two, it should be a fairly easy part to machine.
