I've seen these steel braided fuel lines around on other cars and they look so much better then the stock black rubber lines. I'm currently putting my valve covers and intake manifold back in since I painted them and want to top it off with a new look on the lines. I've yet to find any articles or post written on this for the 4.0. Anyone done this or know if this can be done with the 4.0?

I ran into a similar thing when I rebuild my 912. There were no pre-made kits so I just made it myself. You can pickup just about any length of braided fuel lines from amazon to autozone, you just need to cut it to the desired length and get the right fittings for the ends.

Do you have any pictures of this, did you find a good tutorial? I'd love to pursuit this since it looks badass, I'm new to these forums, i'll be showing off my ride pretty soon though, nice v6r!:grin:

Here's a youtube on it, and theres about a hundred more where that came from. I have no idea which fittings you'll need or how much hose you'll need. It was easy for the 912 because it wasn't my daily driver so I pulled everything off, measured it then bought it.
