Make your own hardlines? Maybe get some from a wrecked car

Searched the site and didn't find it Viper. Do you have a direct link to the fuel line product?

Totally off topic, but I'm wondering when my 21 year old heater core coolant lines are going to bust a nut. :\

Much appreciated, but I'm more concerned over the hoses in the engine bay leading to and from the heater core.

On my 97TA I just replaced them last fall. Easy to get the old apart as it is metal AND rubber. For replacement I bought used off ebay and replaced the rubber part with new and hose clamps.

Another place that might be able to help is Right Stuff Detailing. I recently bought some brake lines from them for my '94 and they do have some fuel lines. I don't believe they have all of their products listed on their website, so you may want to call them.

I bought a new assembly from Hawks Motorsports for my '96 Z28...

They would be used, but as suggested above, Hawks is a pretty good option.

I just noticed that the above is 94-97. Is 93 different? I know they are SD, but I didn't think the fuel delivery would be any different.

I have a complete set of factory fuel lines with filter I pulled off my car two weeks ago to upgrade to bigger lines. The fuel lines are from the tank to the fuel rails including all nylon and aluminum lines. They are not brittle and in great shape. Garage kept 37k mile car. I would sell everything for $20. Let me know if you are interested.



Quick Reply: My fuel lines for my 93 are brittle and breaking apart. Replacements?
