With the alignment roughly complete I moved on to the plumbing. This is one place where I deviated a bit from the plan. I ended up buying some 3/8" diameter steel hose for the fuel line instead of using the supplied 5/16". I also -6 PTFE steel braided fuel hose for all the flexible pieces. Since I wasn't using much of what was supplied, I also had to buy a whole bunch of fittings. I also decided on an external electric fuel pump (Mr. gasket P95 or 95P). There really no designated place to mount the fuel pump so I made a bracket, painted it, and bolted it to the frame near the rear end.
Anyway once I found suitable places to mount the fuel filters and fuel pump I started bending the steel tube. I went through 2 sets of cheap tubing benders from O'reilly before I decide it was just going to be easier to bend by hand. Luckily I only had to make around 4 bends to get it shaped right.
