Does anyone see a problem in the route I’m taking below with new copper fuel lines?
I’m assuming the body is mounted solidly so any movement should be minimal.
Makes it a lot easier to inspect and change rubber hose in the future.

I plan to tidy the ends and compress some olives on.

Will take a few later, copper lines follow original routes but are extended each end.
Rubber lined stainless clips fixed to chassis along their length.
