fuel filters and fuel line t-connectors are really hard to make in scale(1/25) and even harder to find aftermarket...

anyone have any ideas/suggestions or tutorials...

I use Radio Shack diodes for fuel filters. They have enough wire at both ends to connect to the carburetor and the fuel pump on the engine block. I'll paint the diode aluminum for a more modern look, or, for an older car, leave it unpainted so it sort of looks like the orange color.

The Diode is a good tip,Just slip a few short pieces, of the black spark plug wire insulation to look like rubber hose connections and your set. I you have good eyesight, then Plastruct makes some solid hexagon shaped plastic rod that you can drill through with a pin vise, and make fittings that way. It's old school but it works.

Their Beadalon #1, 2,3,4 and are round. I use the different sizes for different wire (fuel, radiator hose, etc). I got then at Michaels. You can see them here on the carbs and firewall. These are #1.

When one promotes their own goods and services it is called "sales"

When others promote your wares it is priceless.
