retroguy Posted October 5, 2012 Posted October 5, 2012 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...
Ramfins59 Posted October 5, 2012 Posted October 5, 2012 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.
my80malibu Posted October 5, 2012 Posted October 5, 2012 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.

crazyjim Posted October 5, 2012 Posted October 5, 2012 I've been using necklace bead ends for fittings.
charlie mo Posted October 5, 2012 Posted October 5, 2012 CrazyJim, could you post what necklace bead ends you use for a/n fittings thank you charlie
crazyjim Posted October 5, 2012 Posted October 5, 2012 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.
