What size fitting do you use to fix to the fuel rail to use braided hose.
Also what is the best way of welding/braising the new fitting to the rail.

Cheers for any advice folks.

 

-6 braised on is what you need mate bit like this

 

Nice that.
you have a fitting on both ends on the upper pipe. Is that a blank where the fuel pipe would go on.

 

had brazing done over here a few times and always ended up spraying fuel onto eng.lucky to catch it both times....

wont risk that on mk 1 cossie converstion so is there a rail manufactuered with unions on i can buy.
not happy to go modding orig rail...

give martin at reyland a phone call.

 

I've had 3 rails done, all mine were tigged though as the welder didn't want to upset the original braising. Welding doesn't transmit heat as far as braising.

 

you have any problems after tiggin...was it -6 fitting on the rail.

 

No problems at all! Yeah i had -6 put on

 

was going to be like this but i think im going to change the goodridge fittings to black and silver instead will look better i think

 

Took the 3 door out for a quick spin today. Clutch cable broke about 10 miles from home. Got towed to a garage near my home by the AA. Should be able to pick it up tomorrow if the garage can get hold of the cable 1st thing. The car came to rest with the rear end stuck out in the road. It was a bit scary trying to control traffic in both directions while I was waiting for the AA. Nobody stopped to help me push it onto the verge. Thanks to all the people who passed. I hope I can do the same for you all oneday.

 

Sorry guys, this post should be a new topic. Just proving yet again that my computer skills in a rating of 1-10, falls between 0 and 1!!!!

 

Any welding or brazing will transmit heat, the best thing to do would be SILVER SOLDER, not cheap but 100% effective, it will never break either unlike the original shit joins.

Cheers tabs. Need to find someone who can do that. I have the ways and meens of doing everything else bar that.

 

Anyone that can braize can do silver solder, as it's done the same way, they may not have silver solder, try and find someone locally that does BRASS as this is used a lot on brass peices, the best people are the retired people who make model trains, as that's pretty much all they use, so just a lot of asking around.
I would ask at machine shops etc to start with.

Pity I'm good at braizing. Used to braize fuel tanks on old ford and dodge trucks when i started working where i work.
