Replacing Brake & Fuel Line Covering
Replacing Brake & Fuel Line Covering
Redoing an early M151. Can anyone suggest a replacement for the mesh covering found on the fuel and brake lines. I've asked around and can't seem to find anything close. Thanks.

I am looking for the same material. One question though: I have been told that when you remove the fuel lines to put the insulation on, you need to re-flare the ends, as you have to remove the fittings. This, in turn, causes the lines to be too short. Any way around this, or suggestions?

FUEL LINE COVERING + WELT
Jorge,YES-this is the BLACK tarred cotton fabric covering,just like original!!!!! The welt material is the fabric strip that is on the top of theGrill,A2 used rubber bumpers.Easy to remove-OLD,snip rivet heads off,use a awl to make openings for new rivets.Use standard aluminum rivets-JUST LIKE NEW!! As far as the ends of the fuel + brake lines go-I found easier to make new lines up.Old ones are allways rusted anyway.New covering on new lines-last your lifetime.Just use old lines for a model. The line covering comes in 2 sizes-1 for fuel + 1 size for brake lines. Hope this helps fellow mutters! Dave mvpa 21178

Thanks a lot
Thank you very much Dave
Four answers for one question.
It is a very good deal.
I have never see the fabric streep on the top of the grill.
Any pics?

Thanks for the responses. Just received 'Restorations Spec...' catalog today. Question though is the proper product 'fabric wire loom - black ' or '1/4" id white fiberglass loom' (both page 186)? Also, is the proper item for the hood 'hydem welt' p78 or ' hood lace' p84 ? Again , thanks for the info and your time. Dan

Dan an the guys,the PROPER covering is -( FABRIC WIRE LOOM-BLACK) NO NO fiberglass type !!!!!! The correct GRILL MATERIAL-( CHANNEL HOOD LACE-5/8")-this is also thr tarred/cotton-PROPER MATERIAL !!!! 5/8" ONLY wire loom SIZE-3/16-BRAKES 5/16 or 3/8-FUEL-latter will give plenty of play to slide over metal tubing. Hope this clears up your ?'s. SeenLoi-Dave mvpa 21178
