Did some investigating and discovered that mine have been removed or may have never been there. May have been cut off flush with main channel. How much of a pain is this going to be to put them back?

Not hard to replace. Just get some steel tubing, put a small bend in them and tack weld to the pans. Put some paint on the welds and under the pans. It rusts up quick. Jeff

Thanks for the info...my problem is that the tubes appear to be cut off flush with the main channel....not really nothing to connect the new tubes to...this is going to take some though... Sad

That is how they are made.
The tubing that runs to the "Y" under the seats is an add on piece.

Mine were missing and I found that 3/16" brake line was the perfect replacement item.
The brake line just slips into the nub on the tunnel.
