Fuel line solutions...
What is everybody doing for fuel lines from the fuel tank to the engine. I have already painted my chassis so cuting it up to get a new metal fuel line inside is almost out of the question. Right now it doesn't have an engine in it but it will have a basic type 1 or type 4 for a while untill I can afford to go turbo/FI. I was thinking maybe some braided steel line throught the heater channel or hard metal line through the heater channel. What do you guys think???

Well, if you go to FI, like I do also right now, you may want to already install a large pickup tube to the tank and a return line while your at it.
I'am thinking 10mm ID out and 8mm return ID. The total length from tank to rear considering, it is much more cheap if you use a hard line ('copper', alu). I have an opening in the tunnel which I needed to install the hydraulic clutch set-up, so I will use the inside tunnel to put my fuel line into. Shouldn't be too hard. Greetings, Walter

Where is a good place to get the hard metal fuel lines. Will copper water line work for fuel line???

Running a solid or flexi type of fuel hose in the heater channel wouldn't be a great idea for two reasons, the first which would drive most people mad is the noise, every time you hit a bump it will rattle about especialy if it's the solid type, the second only realy applies to the solid type, if it does rattle around it runs the risk of fracturing, then you'll have a heater channel full of gas/petrol !!!!!!!
I would use stainless fixings (screws or rivets) on this type of clip  I know you don't want to drill in to your chassis, but considering the time you have spent on it the last thing you want is for it to catch fire  Rob.
