Hi Perry - great idea! Can you straighten the tube first and then add bends without cracking the tubing? I haven't used 3003-O before and I'm not sure how much I can work it before it hardens too much.
Thanks Joe,
Wow!, that is a good hint that I had not seen before. I struggled to get my fuel lines straight enough to visually look good. Worth submitting to Sport Aviation's Hints for Homebuilders.
The wheels are off a pair of inline skates stacked 2 high (8 in all) 4 big 4 small. 1/4 inch carriage bolts through all,,bushing on top and bottom but no bushing between wheel sets. Location set using straight 1/2 inch rod. Wheels laying around for years.
Nice, but I am not quite sure what you are using. Are they doubled up skateboard/inline skate wheels or somethig else?
