A question for Len or others (sorry to hijack the thread) -

In the 84-89 cars, what are the trans tunnel fuel lines made out of?

I replaced my front lines by taking a small hobby die grinder and cutting off the crimps shown in the photos above, then using hi-pressure fuel injection rubber lines plus clamps on the exposed barbs.

When I did this, I felt like the tunnel lines were 'bendable', that is they seemed to react like they were aluminum when I was doing the above grinding and positioning of rubber lines. Yet they were plastic coated, again like in the photo above.

My round-about-question is should I have replaced the tunnel lines as well, or, being aluminum or steel would they last way longer than rubber or plastic?

TIA,
Chuck.H
