Hello,
Had time to fabricate and install fuel lines on my on-going '62 project. I use -6AN SS flex from the tank to the frame, 3/8 hard-line under the frame, and then convert back to -6AN SS flex from the frame to the engine bay / EFI carb. I found the biggest hassle with the SS flex hose is assembling the flex line to the connectors with the frayed SS hose ends. This is a cheap and easy fix that worked great for me and saved my finger tips. No more frays to fight with.
A unused shower down spout (or some kind of metal tubing); vise; cutoff wheel; electrical tape. The -6AN SS flex hose is smaller than the tube. Insert the hose thru the metal tube. Very tightly wrap electrical tape around the SS Hose until the hose with tape outside diameter is just slightly smaller than the tubing. Once there, pull the taped hose half way back thru the metal tubing. It should be tight. Use the cutoff wheel to cut the edge straight down at the half way point of the electrical tape.
This saved me alot of hassles and really did not incur any additional costs. Worked great! Hope it helps someone.
