[alfa] fuel line weirdness

[Scott Johnson <scott@xxxxxxxx>]

I'm in the enviable position of actually being ahead of my car (71 alfa 
spider), in that everything that I can fix has been fixed. Now I'm 
looking to do preventative and pro-active maintanence. To that end, I 
realized the rubber fuel lines in my car are at LEAST 8 years old (as 
long as I've had it), and probably quite a bit older than that. However, 
while doing a visual inspection, I was surprised to find that the fuel 
lines pass *behind* the idler arm assembly. In other words, to replace 
them, I'll need to remove said assembly. Not a big deal (AFAIK), but 
really weird looking to me.

Is this normal? I don't remember my 74 being like this at all, but this 
is such an early 71 (12th off the line), anything is possible.

Also, what is the proper replacement hose size?

Thanks in advance!
