Peter,

Thanks for the information, I will have to bite the bullet and put another order into Marlin.

Cheers

Well, after much prevarication and endless questions, I got my major fuel lines in during the easter break:

Like most of you, I went for 8mm copper hard pipes to do the major runs down the length of the car.



The lines where they pass through the bulkhead at the rear of the chassis:



I then routed the pipes up toward the top left hand side of the rear of the car. My thinking behind this is that it'll be easy to route flexi's from this point to any where on the tank / lp pump, and keep them nice and neat and out of the way of anything moving.

The pipes are finished off with some brass barbs that I got from Woolies Trim. These are just soldered on:



I put some yellow caps on the pipes to keep dirt out of them until the rubber flexible pipes are on.

I'll be sorting out the clutch pipes and the holes that they pass through next - and once that's done the engine will go in. I'm hoping that I can get that done by the end of the month.
