Yeah thanks Mick, that setup is exactly what I've got in an ex-racing 510 shell I used to drive around a few years ago. Unfortunately that car was given a defect notice, as here in WA running fuel lines inside a street car is not allowed (or so the cops told me). That was just one of the reasons I had to take that car off the road, the guy at the pits didn't take too kindly to the alloy roll cage (CAMS approved and logbooked) either, or the lack of carpets, rear seat, battery in boot, missing wheel well or the hydraulic handbrake etc. I think I was done over a bit harshly because there was a bit of a campaign against old cars on the road at the time. The new shell I'm working on is a '72 and I'll be trying to keep it road licensed so I can use it in historic tarmac rallies and autokhanas. I will run the bigger lines as you and Errol have suggested but I'll run them outside the car to save any hassle later. I guess I'll have to hire/get some kind of tube bending die thingy for the job. Thanks for the advice guys.
