It's been a while since I posted and got you guys all riled up so pretend that the most offensive words you have ever read appear here: @#$!*(%^)$*$*&*&$^&*^#(#&(&#(&#($*#(&*@&
Now, I need to replace the fuel line in my ragtop because it still has that rubber hose that sucks shut when I rev the engine. Is there an online drawing of the fuel line giving exact specifications on how to bend one of the cheap variety or am I going to have to fork out big bucks for a frickin' fuel line? (the one from the tank to the fuel pump is currently all rubber on my car) Thanks for the help guys. Hope I didn't offend you too much.

Just buy a coil of 5/16 or 3/8 steel line depending on what you have, start at the tank and unroll it while fitting it to the frame as you go. Not too hard, just the higher you have the car off the ground the better.

I think drptop means aluminum tubing. I never seen rolled steel tube.

Can't you just ask a simple question without the offensive words that you are worried about, then you won't have to say your sorry.

The Right Stuff has some very nice lines if you want your car to be correct but they are not cheap
If I wanted to do it a cheap - easy way I would use 3/8" o.d. soft copper myself, not aluminum.
About all you have to do is secure tightly at points where it might vibrate and wear
