Replacing Copper Fuel Lines

[JWzed]

Hi All
Am now getting on fairly well with my Chims body off/ chassis refurb and my next task is to renew the old copper fuel lines. However, I am not sure where the optimum place should be for the copper lines to terminate and the engine fuel rail flexibles to start; so that there is sufficient access to routinely replace the flexibles in future.
The old pipes do not help, as the pump pressure line in particular ended up vaguely behind the bell housing and was not clipped or cable tied just swinging in the breeze! The old return line pipe is better and terminated about half way up the bellhousing on the off side.
Any prior experience and wisdom would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks very much for your comments and ideas everyone. You have given me some options to think about.

Thanks to everyone who contributed to this thread. Just installed my new fuel lines. Decided to go for Cunifer pipe as it is a tougher material than soft copper. It is harder to work with, but I bought a small pipe bender and that did the trick on the sharp bends. I deliberately terminated the pipe ends half way along the bell housing behind the RH bank cylinder head. Everything is a compromise between trying to keep the flexibles as short as possible, but allowing sufficient access for regular changes. The flexible pipes joints and clips are now high up but still accessible from underneath. It is certainly a far more satisfactory arrangement than that previously in place.
