Fabricated Fuel Line Between Selector and Pump

The plans specify that the aft end of the filter be roughly vertically aligned with the fuel selector outlet.  This requires the fuel line to jog backward before turning forward to enter the fuel filter.  The radius on my tubing bender is to large for this to work and still have room to push the fitting back to create the flare on the end.  Instead, I moved the filter and pump forward about two inches and fabricated a line with a simple 90º bend.  I’m hoping the stock Van’s fuel pump cover will still fit over the pump.  Otherwise, I’ll have to fabricate a custom cover.
