Zedman Posted November 12 Report Posted November 12 I have recently fitted all new tubing on my1981's (RQB 2369) Frame for brake lines, Fuel Supply, Return and Vapour canister. I had quite a task runnng the fuel lines due to their robust diameters and took quite some time to make these look as neat as possible. Brake lines were relatively easily replicated and came out quite neatly although I did not follow the exact 'factory' shape over the rear axle and modified that slightly. My question is were all these lines pre- formed at the factory on some sort of jig, or were they just run and bent by hand and eye by the employee. My instinct tells me these were probably one off bends and hand fitted on each car. Is there anybody out there who worked at the Newman and Altman years able to settle a bet between myself and a friend over this query? I'd like to post a few pics but I'm still trying to figure out how I can reduce my overloaded 'quota'.
