Default Original fuel line?

What was the original fuel line from fuel pump to carbs /filter on the 1965 tri-power?

Thanks

Rubber.
Not all of the photos show up but Scott Tieman details the rubber line from the fuel pump to the filter in the Fuel pump section.

To be clear, the pictures there show there is a hard line from the front carburetor that goes down the front of the engine and disappears behind the alternator. I don't know the specifics about what was done in 1965 but on my car there's a rubber line from the fuel pump to the filter, then another short section of rubber line that connects the filter to the hard line that goes on up to the carburetors. I assume 1965 was similar.

This is the 1965 Tri-Power fuel line on a GTO.

Rubber hose from fuel pump to fuel filter inlet.
Short piece of rubber hose from fuel filter outlet to aluminum fuel line.

Factory illustration shows a 1964 unit.
