    Installing Grommets on Front Tunnel Fuel Lines?

    Does anyone have clues on how to get the forward tunnel grommet installed on an early 911 with the hard stainless tunnel fuel lines? I got the rear grommets in without too much trouble, but the lines coming out the front of the tunnel aren't perpendicular to the flange where it goes through the hole and there's no room to get the rubber grommet in. I'm considering trying to put a bend in the line inside the tunnel to try to get the fuel line square with the hole (if that's even possible) but I'm not sure that's the right path or whether the lines should have already been shaped like that.
