It is quite easy to fix those lines for good. I usually give them a good yank when servicing it will come out if at all loose. I then sand it slightli and tin it with ordinary solder. I shake it while hot to live the thinnest smear of solder. I tap it back in and have never had one of those come out

Thanks for the encouragement everyone, I'll be giving Lant a call this morning to see how they want to handle this.

Greg, I didn't have your number programmed in to my phone, otherwise I certainly would have given you a call while I was down there.


cheers
Ed N.

If you have the room to install a system, these are nice and give you some peace of mind.

We put one of these systems in the Herbie X. I will have one in my car but haven't had much time to get it done. I put a hand held fire extinguisher in all my vehicles and every one that leaves our shop. You just never know when you will need one. I think the system cost @ $350.

Hey Ed,
engine wiring is super easy to fix, you should try doing it yourself

Ed I don't know if your car had this going on, but here goes ...

Public service announcement time:
Never put a filter on the pressure side of the fuel pump, avoid putting it in the engine bay at all.
Under the fuel tank or above the transaxle are ok.
- cheap filters can crack or even burst under pressure especially if the engine is running hot, the engine bay area will get warm
- filters can get heavy (filled with fuel) and wiggle the fitting on the carb loose

... fuel filter rant over

Yes, I have seen that mentioned Bryan, I guess I should have dealt with it right away. Too anxious to get out cruising in the new toy.

Insurance appraiser is coming by Tuesday afternoon, we'll take it from there.


cheers
