curious- your fuel lines rusted out-
from the tank to the-
can you tell us more- inside would mean you need to do a lot more than just replace the lines-
using my decoder ring I will do my best to answer

Aftermarket metal lines listed by suppliers are straight lines that are bent to fit.

Steel braiding could be there for heat and mechanical protection and to prevent expansion. 30R9 usually have some king of internal braiding to reinforce the hose. I could easily reuse my OEM flex lines, but I rather not. Their condition could be pretty bad.

Yes, only the fuel lines are rusted from the tank all the way to the front. Weird, since everything else looks really good. Brake lines are minty. Probably S/S.
