Default FAO peeps that have fuel lines inside the car

how have you ran the lines?

this is how mine stands as of 10 mins ago



did you run the lines over that box section bit, or chop a hole and run them though it?

or maybe out the roof?

ps, its not finished yet..!

mine will be ran down the left side of the tranny tunnel as per how its is, and of course P clipped too. just wondering whats the best way of routing it in the rear of the car.

thanking y'all

if you were to run it through the box section then you'd have ot get the hole grommeted up, so find a grommet that size first and go from there

actually, you've have to find 2 grommets as you'll have ot put one either side of the box section

Fudgester, are you using lined hoses? Marc (dont know his user name, he owns the blue Mk2 Fez with the FMS engine) was telling me how you need to run them in the car to stop the petrol smell in the cabin.

A 25mm or 32mm electrical grommet should do the trick.
