Fuel lines for AC engine

[AEX 31]

Dear All,
   
   I'm looking for for original looking fuel lines for
   my 1954 Ace.
   
   In a Bonhams auction last year a Bristol engined car
   looks like it has "newly" made fuel lines, that look
   just like the original type.
   
   http://www.bonhams.com/auctions/20994/lot/170/
   
   Does anybody know if there is somebody that can supply
   this?
   
   Any help greatly appreciated.
   
   Regards
   
   Jonas

Jonas,
   I had a pair made up by Gower and Lee to join 1 & 2 and 2 & 3 carburetters on AE22. The invoice describes them as '5/16" braided fuel hose with crimped nut ends' and they were £16.50 each. Near identical to the original Smiths part and of course, being S.U. specialists, they can supply the correct end fittings if you do not have them. Eventually, when I have enough installed to do some measuring, I shall get them to make up the other lengths required in the fuel system. I see they have changed their web address- http://www.gowerlee.dircon.co.uk/

Barrie,
   
   Thank you so much for the help and info. I will definitely contact Gower and Lee tomorrow.
   
   I have also contacted vintage car parts today so it feels very exiting!
