This is what you want for the fuel line bead.
It can be found HERE. But somewhere easier to get it in Australia is another question.

Just found this place in Oakleigh (close to me). I've sent them an email for a price.

Thanks for the tip!

its not a bad thing to do but is by no means necessary.

just use bundy tube and cut it to shape then use efi hose clamps. i like to get mine from wreckers aswell

you've now heard it from two guys who do it on motors with nearly double the factory power and one of which is a show car.

don't get caught up on the little stuff too much or you will never get to drive it!

Cool, thanks Lags...when it's the first time you've done something you just don't have the same level of confidence.

I'll just clamp it all up for now and if the beading tool comes through all good, otherwise I wont stress too much about it.

would definatley be flaring it one way or another, dont just put it on straight tube

you might not be driving it long before it burns to the ground......

hmm....you don't think EFI hose clamps are going to be enough Mike?

well....

if its just round with no flare no matter how tight you turn that hose clamp you can usually still spin the hose on the fuel line... and if you can do that it is surely going to leak at some stage

and the tighter you do them up the sooner the hose cracks up and leaks as well

i guesstimated the length of metal fuel line i needed when i bought mine and got them to flare the ends when i bought it... before i started bending and getting it stuck under the car

plumbers do have the best tools.. i had a plumber do those flared ends for me... any houses being built in the area where you might find a handy plumber?

I look into it a bit further - haven't heard back from the shop in Oakleigh yet either...

i just rang an enzed about one of those tools and he ways saying for the cost of the tool and the amount of times you would use it in a hobby environment, it wouldn't be worth the purchase, and they can do the whole car for me for $50 for those flares. $5 each end isn't bad.

i can guarantee that if you use the right clamps it will not leak weather there is a flare or not. I have no flares on a few of my fuel line ends and they are no worries. i'm not saying its a waste of time flaring but i have not found it necessary in my experience with both SR and CA turbo motors. the base preasure is 28psi (i think) and i think it raises 1psi per psi of boost so my lines have seen 46 psi with no worries.
