Whilst my cars up in the air on the ramp, I wish to replace the fuel line that runs from the filter to the front. I did it a couple of years ago and theres signs of cracking again ! Whats the latest spec to use and where can I buy it from.

Cheers in advance.

Maybe Car Builder Solutions or Demon Tweeks?

I bought the gates barricade on recommendations from here, seems to be standing up well so far .. time will tell but already outlived the R9 stuff i'd previously bought from the local motor factors.

Gates "Barricade" is as good as you can get, but be sure you buy the fuel injection stuff, not the cheaper low pressure pipe for carburetor systems. You may struggle to buy a cut length, tends to only be sold by the roll, always handy to have some spare wink


Been a few PH discussions, here's one for starters.... clicky

I decided on some of this after reading good reports online.

Our local motor factors stock the Gates hose so your local could too.
Don't know if they sell by the meter as we always buy a whole reel.

When PO initially put the body back on the Chim' I'm finishing rebuilding, the solid pipes (cunfer) were not in the correct place and he had to cut and part remove them. So I'm re-doing the long runs in copper pipe.
