Default Pics..Fuel and Brake lines ..Enough clips ??

Been hard at it today..had a rethink of my fuel feed and return lines so made a track for them to run down....i hate feckin microbore pipe it may be malable but in my big plates of meat it is CRAP hate it !!![IMG][/IMG]




Have i clipped it enough...cant move the pipes unless you wedge them with a scewdiver !! There are a few bits of the petrol pipe i want to cover with split rubber but will need to scavange some tomorrow at work thing 6mm 4 core SWA insulation is about right

More than enough should keep the man happy.

Oberservation and not critical,you could have put 2 clips on one rivet for the brake pipes at the front.

Looks really good Andy, use of the rubber lined p clips always goes down well with the IVA man and the way you have rubber lined the copper tube at the corners looks good to.

Plenty of clips.....

Andrew
