seeing as it's looking like the engine has to come out of my saph again

i'm looking at doing some of the things i wanted to last time but ran out of time/money and after seeing a thread on the rsoc the other day a guy who's car nearly went up i've decided i definately want to change the fuel lines right from the tank the the rail.

ideally i want to go for goodridge/aeroquip braided pipes and fittings as i'm convinced they don't get any better than that plus they look the dogs!

has anyone done this on their saph? i'm really trying to build up a shopping list at the moment so i can keep my eyes open for deals and get a rough idea of what i'm going to be spending this time (then add a 0 on the end of it )

cheers

I sell genuine Goodridge aeroquip products I can give you a price for the fittings needed but be aware if you use the 200 series hose you will get a petrol smell from the hose. You can use the teflon lined hose which you don't get a vapour escape but if you kink it you will have to replace it.

I can supply hardline tubing which is 1mm ish bigger than than standard line and it uses the jic fittings and is a lot lighter than the 200 hose and it doesn't need the separators (which up the price) but the choice is yours

PM me for a price.

cheers

Some just use inexpensive annealed copper tube to replace the fuel lines, got me thinking about this now, bugger that's more money gone!!

lister do a black alloy coated pipe that bends like copper and the aroquips to fit it ,i have it in my mk2 rs2000 cossy it great no smell and and costs 7 quid for 4metres all the rally and race boys by me use it its james lister motorspot at west bromwich

 

Yes its called hardline tubing and it uses jic ends and you don't need to support it as you would if you use 200 hose.

 

So I could use hardline pipe to run the length of the floor under the car then use braided hoses through the engine bay. Sounds a better plan really and hopefully keep costs down a bit!

 

That hardline stuff sounds the business, thanks for the heads up.
