    I used some green colored steel line I got at Auto zone. I copied what was there and tweeked it a bit to make it fit nicely. That particular tubing doesn't seem to kink easily.

    I did this with my Sprint. 5/16" steel line... 9" of neoprene fuel line. 3" at each end of the fuel filter and another 3" piece between the banjo fitting at the carb and the steel running to it.
