Ford 860 Gas Line + Fuel Shut-off Help

Just wondering if I could get some help with fixing the fuel shut off and replacing the gas line on the 860 that I recently picked up.

#1. The current line looks to be the original style, with part of it rubber, and it drops down behind the manifold to the sediment bowl. I think it needs replacing, and I've seen a lot of threads in the past about the topic, but a lot of the pictures have since been removed.

Specifically, I was planning to reroute the line and wondered if anyone could help me with the best route, and also what length and what diameter line would I need to get?

Also, does it need to have the rubber anti-vibration part in it? My 8n and NAA gas lines are all metal, and they seem to do just fine.

#2. The fuel shut-off leaks whenever it is turned on. I'd rather repair the original, if possible. I've read on here about drilling the valve and then replacing the o-ring. Can someone tell me what size o-ring to use?

Thanks!

Jeff
 
I did the drilling on a valve and it worked for a time. I would look for a used original valve that doesnt look like it has been overused on ebay or ask a dismantler on there about one. The new valves on there dont last if used much. I believe the original ones said Bendix on them. Youll need a OEM Ford oring for the valve. Once you stop that leak install another valve inline next to the carb.

I rerun all of mine around the front of the engine and I install a ball valve inline near the carburetor, therefore I leave the original cut off valve turned on at all times to prevent leakage from turning on and off, only use the ball valve to cut on and off, I get brass ball valves, done many tractors over the years this way and no more leaks.......
