Got the car on my friends ramp today to have a look at the fuel lines.
I have worked out how the fit the pipes to the pump,from the pump to the filter and then on to the copper line.Allso worked out how the replace from the copper return to the tank.How the hell do you replace the flow and return hoses from the engine bay to the two copper fuel lines going up the side of the gear box.I can not see where the copper meets the fuel hose.I don`t understand why TVR did not bring the copper pipes in to the engine bay for a easy fix..!
Removed the exhaust today and replaced the diff and gearbox oil ..What a job ,i ended up useing a hose standing on a pair of steps to get the fluids in..Sqeezing the bottle for hours..

Top tip, bit of silicon spray makes them go on very easy, without it you'll struggle. You just have to look and push them where you think they *should* go 
You mean there's no hose clip securing it to the pipe ?!Try pulling the plenum off so you can access the pipes, they are just about on top of the bellhousing (it's yet another big help if you don't have trumpets getting in the way).
The pipes are rubber for the flex since the copper is fixed to the chassis & and the fuel rail to the engine, then you need a decent run to allow for the shuddering... any shorter and they would probably fracture even quicker, the copper should be more suitable for where the pipes cross the exhaust and might get trapped in a hidden location - in case you ask why not rubber all the way?

Daz why were you standing on steps - doesn't the ramp go up and down? Removed the exhaust today and replaced the diff and gearbox oil ..What a job ,i ended up useing a hose standing on a pair of steps to get the fluids in..Sqeezing the bottle for hours..

Here you go Daz, this should give you an idea where to find the pipes. Red circle is the feed from the tank, blue is the return to the tank.
Very easy to change with no engine in the way.
