fuel fixings

[steve8274]

is it acceptable to secure fuel pipe to copper brake using cable ties?
the brake pipes have been secured to chassis with appropriate brackets and rivets.
needs to pass iva
thanks

No since the two pipes would be able to rub together

run the pipes threw there own seperate P clips

tilly

You can do, but the zip tie has to be fixed onto something solid (not an adhesive pad) and it must hold the fuel line tight without the chance of movement that could lead to wearing of the line.

Personally I used rubber lined P clips to hold my copper fuel lines.

little trick for questions like this. think would ford vauxhall etc do it like that? if its no then chances are it wont pass iva.

Are plastic P clips ok for fuel and brake lines or do they have to be metal?

[Ashtonr]

They can be plastic

thanks guys for the replies.
i was kind of thinking it wouldnt be suitable but thought i would ask.
should have drilled holes etc for clips before i put some of my panels on. nevermind all part of the fun!!!
