Cheers Ole

There just stauff clamps( well there the ones I like)
The stauff come in group numbers and in each group a std and heavy duty, in single to triple and then you stack them if you want more, you can also get them with 2 different sizes.
They even do them in a flat finish I side to hole hose I steed of ribbed for tube or pipe

[michaeljohn1234m]

NES I believe fuel lines, like brake lnes must be double flared, not single flared. The kit you have shown is a single flare kit.

in the photo there's a little black thing. thats the double flare er i think

[NES304]

Hi ken, I believe the flare types you are talking about  are in my crude drawing.
I
Here is no fare and the flare that I have done and is identical to the original ones

[john253a]

if you want you can do no flare (metric) insteed of jic
and a 3/8 steal tube is ratted for 3500psi up  at 4:1 working pressure with a single flare jic fittings
so there will be no problems there,
ive never had an issue with single flare on fuel lines

If u had of drawn a female massage device, it may have looked more like s flared pipe

Are you saying you brake line flares are like the first line in the photo?

I notice on some callipers I removed from a VS diff have a similar flare.

The VN callipers are your normal double flare.

When making the flare ensure the end is square and there is no lip on the inside of the pipe.

The shape you have achieved is the one I used for all my fuel lines. I actually drilled it a little larger.

Hope this helps

Cheers

of the two pipes one is flared and one is not, although I look at it now and its a sh!t cut. All the brake lines I have on the VT and VS calliper have used this flare so I know it fits. I'll be doing a similar flar on the fuel line although it'll be more so when the clamp is on it it wont slide off.

Square she will be! I quickly did this flare to show what I was doing.

[NES304]

I ripped out the rubber ones and started these ones. I chose rivets with a P type clip. I'll run the thicker fuel lines below.

That looks better ;) ;)

Watch this space  ;)

Im re cutting them now so theres a bit more meat where the screw goes thru  and ill countersink them.


Also thinking they may be better from 20mm nylon or something like that.

They were metal on metal back in the day as long as there snug as a bug they will be right.
