    Doing a great job of explaining your work process! Knew you were gonna go for hard lines...fantastic look and execution! Could have made a bracket but nope, took it to the next level (where us viewers knew you were going)! Have the exact same flaring tool! Go RAC Garage, keep moving forward!

    Reminds me of fitting S/S hard lines to my injectors.

    Great video Travis, love the way that you explain the process. Hope your family are having a great weekend

    Looks good 😎 I wanted to mention that you should use blue lock tight and anti seize when assembling parts. Especially pivot points and sleeved pieces 🧐 it makes it easier to remove bolts for repair later on especially stainless steel 👍

    Have you thought about mounting the distribution block to the engine then you only need the soft line to the block?
    Either way keep up the good work. Love the videos.

    • @RACGARAGE
      @RACGARAGE  24 дні тому

      Then it’s only a few small lines, wanted to have as much hard lines as possible. Potato potato.

    Travis, another good way to measure out your lines is to use some oxy/TIG welding wire.

    ....yea.....now where the three lines exit to the carbs, use a three or four sparkplug wire line metal riser to hold them.... the fourth spot can be used for some wiring 😮

  • @frankadams7411
    @frankadams7411 24 дні тому +1

    If you wrap the first one a little more than 90-degrees - around the linkage - it would be a straight shot into the distribution block.

    • @frankadams7411
      @frankadams7411 24 дні тому

      Scratch that - didn't realize you were bundling the three lines. How about a copper bracket soldered to the three lines??

    Love the sexy new hard lines. (I'm a sucker for nice hard lines.)
    But I've wondered how the soft copper holds up against today's caustic (usually with 10-20% ethanol in it) gas?

  • @bobhalstead1879
    @bobhalstead1879 24 дні тому +1

    Try only using the first step of a double flare next time.easier to install hose and remove,no chance of cutting hose inside.

    • @RACGARAGE
      @RACGARAGE  20 днів тому

      I feel like the second step gets rid of a hard edge. It folds it into itself

    why did you not use fittings on the fuel Block?

    • @RACGARAGE
      @RACGARAGE  24 дні тому

      Because if they were both hard mounted the fuel lines will work hardened and crack over time from the engine flexing
