Default Braided hose

I’m looking at the fuel system now and want to run braided hose down the full run of the car
it will be -8 and -6
i can’t find anywhere that sells a clamp to secure the braided hose
what I’m ideally after is something like the original ford camps that hold the brake pipe and metal fuel pipe
can you post pics of how you’ve done yours
mot have a link where I can purchase a clamp
cheers

I looked for something but couldn’t find a double clamp that dose -8 and -6 plus I’d have ended up welding studs under the car for them to clamp on. Used p clips in the end but I may change it in the future

Not braided hose but I used a polymer coated hardline and used two Rubber lined stainless P clips fixed to the existing metal that the original plastic clips fixed to, so you could just use a larger p clip.

You can get a strong fixing to the metal tabs that the original plastic clips fixed to if you want to go down the P clip route without having to fix through the floor pan, I’m sure I’ve also seen pics of someone’s car who have used a anodised aluminium type pipe clamps.

That’s the type of thing i originally looked for. I’ll re do mine one day. I’ll weld studs to the floor for them to bolt up on
