Where to return fuel
coupemerc:
George, I'll check out the hose and clamp type for you tonight ... or tomorrow at the latest. Work is presently getting in my way! I can tell you that the rubber hose and clamps were originally put on the car at N&P.
Spud Miller:
Radiator hose from the auto parts store works great. Many foreign cars use 1 1/4" and other sizes and have molded in bends that you can cut out and leverage. They're methanol and nitro proof but not gas proof. Some of the parts store hoses come with a spring molded in to prevent collapsing too.
If you use worm-gear type clamps, it'll chew your hose up and eat into it. Using the smooth hose clamps (like some folks use for motor mounts on a dragster) work great. Hose shops usually have those in a bunch of sizes.

George:
Hey, thanks guys. George

George, The hard line on my car is a little over 10 feet long. It is broken up into 4 segments. The segments are connected together by rubber hose that looks to me like it is radiator hose. The only marking I could find on the hose was "25.4 mm ID" and the clamps are regular hose type. Chuck
Totally T:
Ive saw the radiator hose used as well as the stuff the pro teams used...Spuds correct as both will work but I would spring for the aircraft clamps.
Heres mine..
