Here's pics of mine. I went cheap and got steel line and brass fittings cost like $12. Stainless would be better butt? I would think a hydraulic hose shop would have stainless.
Thanks Hammer65. How much of an off set did you do on the overflow line? I'm going to use a baldwin filter and base. In fact if you could give the deminsions of the line, because I have know way to bend it.
Chet, I got my kit from Clay a while back and it didn't come with the 5/16 line for the return, and when I asked about it I was told its not needed. I just did mine about 3 wks ago and used the U shaped hose that goes from the 5/16 return to the mixing chamber. Disconect it from the return and the mixing chamber by prying off the two clamps which you do anyway, and re install with a worm clamp on the 5/16 return line. it faces back away from the float. Just turn it 180* from how it was when it was connected to the chamber. Does the same thing, directs the fuel away from the float. Hope this makes sense. I should have taken a pic, but I always get involved and forget. I can't see the pic above, so I hope we're talking about the same thing.

I pieced mine together myself & did what you said with the little U-shaped return line, I didn't even take it completely off just took the bottom clamp off & twisted it to shoot the fuel away from the pick-up foot. My thinking is if there is any air in the fuel in the return it will rise anyway & not make it to the pick-up foot.
