Fuel pipe hose
Would the use of standard rubber fuel hose with the fuel hose jubilee type clamps be a suitable replacement for the fuel pump to metal fuel line on a escort RS turbo ?

Plenty of people have gone braided. I don't think i'd want "standard rubber" running that entire length - too easy to get cut/bashed about by road debris alone. I'd personally stick to metal where possible. Its easier to support that length as well when its a stiffer material

It is only the section from the pump to the metal pipe (hard plastic pipe runs around the tank) I would obviously get the reinforced rubber just wondering if a fuel clamp would be enough to stand the fuel pressure where I would connect it to the metal pipe ? Just don’t wanna spend ŁŁŁ on a braided one when I can make one myself. TIA

Plenty of proper EFI rubber hose available, but "Jubilee"/worm drive clamps are never the correct type of clamp for small diameter hoses. Absolute butchery to use them.
These are the correct type of clamps.
