That,ll teach me ,
 
As i,m now getting close to finishing my build, there was always 1 part of it that I was never really happy with...............

My Fuel line.........I,d fitted a rubber / braided fuel pipe from the tank to the carb, it was well fitted but being totally honest I just wasn,t happy with it, with the thoughts of the IVA looming fairly soon I decided to replace my fuel line with a copper microbore jobbie.....

:eek: what a chuffing job.......... with so much of the car now fitted out I ended up with legs in the air , arms in positions you wouldn,t think were possible, so glad I had an adjustable head rivet gun :D

So......"That,ll teach me"..........should,ve done a proper job to start with :o

Its all in & fitted now, a few grazed knuckles but I,m alot happier now :)

cheers

That'll teach you Andy. These things have a way of getting to you until you have to do something about it.
Pleased it's sorted for you now :)
p.s.skin grows back, and it's far far cheaper than an IVA re-test :D

It was always in the back of my mind that I wasn,t happy with the fuel line, & you can bet your bottom dollar, that come IVA time it would come back & bite me,
even tho the hose was certified as "Fuel hose" on the paperwork, but not printed on the hose , I would always be worried that it would cause me a problem, so , ripped it out & done a proper job :rolleyes: :D

My knuckles will survive , LOL

cheers

I think he's rumbled.

Looks similar
Same name
Same catch phrase
Ability to build from scrap.

Just the accent .....
