I don't have rubber hose in the tunnel. Just around the diff and between the fuel tank and pump. All easy access stuff. The tunnel is 8mm copper pipe, with flared ends to help keep the hose on. You can actually see in my photo the copper fuel line in the tranny tunnel.

Same as Ash Deezee but where the copper tube enters and exits the tranny tunnel split and wrap some rubber tuber around the pipe to protect against chafing. The main thing is to make sure its all securely fixed and no chance of the pipe rubbing along the chassis, panels or gearbox (gearbox will move a fair bit on rubbers which he gives a good tug, making sure it hits nothing).

SVA man was quite content with this.....AndyH

oh yes so i can so i can see, been having a it of selective blindness lately i did copper all the way right up to the tank even round the diff and rear frame wasn't too hard actually. i found it easier than trying to fix flexi hose. in areas where it is hard to get a rivet gun in e.g where the diff is, i used self tapping screws with lock-tight on them to hold 1 or 2 pclips.
