Fuel line install
Hello,
I'm attempting to install Paul Mason fuel lines in the tunnel of my 86 911. They are aluminum hard lines BTW. Trouble is connecting the new line to the old line and not having it get hung up, I tried tape. I'm also thinking an endoscope will help with the tight quarters. I have my access holes opened up to help things along too.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Sounds like you are trying to connect the new line to the old line so you can pull the new line through the tunnel? I'm not positive, but I think you need an M14 coupler. I know Len Cummings over on Pelican provides a coupler for this purpose with the replacement fuel lines he sells. If M14 doesn't work, you could try reaching out to him.
Which direction are you going? I think most people recommend pulling the old ones out the front, and pulling the new line in from the rear. I have a set of Len's lines for my SC, but I haven't tried to replace them yet.

I also found out there are 2 specs for M14 fuel connectors. This bit me in the backside.
