Nice little simple tool. I like your idea on the grooves to get the hole straight. Did you need to file out the edges so they curve in a bit?

 I used the same stuff. One roll would have been just enough if I didn't have to redo one of my M/C to distribution block lines. It easily polishes up with an aluminum polish and then can be clear coated. I considered using the same stuff in 3/8's for the fuel line , but I am also considering stainless for the fuel line.

I ordered a 25' roll of 3/8" stainless to do my fuel line.  I figure it should be enough for the tank to the pump and then the pump to the carb.  I didn't really consider using the copper-nickel stuff for fuel line.  I got a good deal on the stainless and went w/ that.  I have the original lines to use as patterns, so it should be fairly easy.  I'm going to try the same wooden block approach for straightening the line.  WIll post the results.  I didn't get any feedback on my fuel line post, so I'm still not sure whether to use the original routing for the 65 or maybe modify it.
 

JKordzi, Your craftsmanship is showing.

Looks good, but it also looks like you forgot to connect one of the lines: 




 

Yeah, that's the old rear line and it's just there so I can see how close it is to the proportioning valve.  I haven't replaced it yet.
