Im coming to the end of my resto, and I going to be refitting the fuel system soon. I was going to use the original fuel pipes but the return has a flat spot in it where its obviously been squashed previously.

I intended to cut the damaged section out and put a section of braided hose in there rather than replace the whole pipe.

The original plastic sections are all snapped, so I was intending on replacing them with again 8mm braided hose from the ends near the front chassis legs to the fuel rail and from under the rear beam to the pump / filter cradle, both using standard fuel hose clips.

Does this sound ok, if not how have others done it??

Could use standard 8mm copper pipe, far cheaper as well, and to me looks nicer than the horrid gash braided crap, but maybe that's just me I hate the stuff.

Sorry i meant use the standard black braided pipe, not the bright shiny stuff. with the plastic pipe being snapped at the fuel rail. Is it ok to run high pressure braided pipe and connect it to the high pressure side of the fuel rail with fuel pipe clips??
