fuel tank connections
Posted: Thu Oct 21, 2021 11:35 pm
Hi all,
I'm attempting to tidy up my fuel lines from tank to carbs as they're currently a bit of a hodge-podge.
I'd like to move over to -AN fittings and perhaps a hard line up the centre of the car (currently a nylon tube)
The bit that's causing difficulty for me firstly is the connection out of the fuel tank. It looks to have been a nut and olive sort of setup? I have the nut part of it on the tube and a rolled section of the tube stopping that nut from coming off, but then a hose is just clamped on.
Can anyone tell me the spec of that nut so i could perhaps put together the rest of it for a neater connection? It's impossible to get a look at the thread or size as it's held in place on the pipe.
This is a late '66 coupe.
any other advice for conversion to -AN much appreciated!
