Hi Kevin,
I bought my bender at a NAPA auto parts store. It is a plier-type
with interchangeable dies for different sizes of tubing. I made the
bends slowly and in small increments, checking against the old pipe as I
went along.
I put one little gasket on either side of each banjo fitting with the
recessed side towards the bolt. Someone ( I think it was Kelvin from
Moss) said to stack up two gaskets on the pump side of the fitting to
ensure enough clearance. I didn't do this because I diddn't find out
about that sugfestion until after I put it together. OK so far, although
I got some slow seepage from the fittings. Looks like the gaskets
softened from exposure to fuel. I had to keep re-tightening them. Not
leaking now. If you don't have 6 gaskets you might try a carb repair
shop.
Hope this helps,
CR
