Goodridge 200 Series hose. How flexible is it?

[Sensibleboy]

I'm looking at the replacing the standard plastic hose on my very modified Peugeot 206 GTi. It's fitted with Jenvey throttle bodies and I want to fit a Jenvey fuel rail too.

Anyway the original hose follows the route in the picture below. There are two hoses running down the bulkhead and under the floor to the left of the exhaust manifold. Does anybody know if the Goodridge 200 series hose is flexible enough for it to follow the same route?
I don't want to have the hassle of rerouting the hose if it's too stiff to follow the route of the original.

Don't know off hand, but manfacturers normally publish data sheets for stuff like this. I used aeroquip fuel hose, and the minimum bending radius was in the data sheet online.

I'd say yes if it's the same quality as their st/st brake and clutch lines. If in doubt, call them and ask!

Note, if you're planning to run st/st fuel lines full length f&r you'd be better off getting a good hydraulic's company to make a set for you...Goodridge can be devilishly expensive for some parts. Goodridge also have an in-house production facility for one-off's...simply send them your dimensions & end fittings for price and delivery.

A good idea. I checked their online catalogue. It states for a 8.73mm bore size (which I think is equivalent to -6 JIC) the minimum bend radius is 63.5mm. It could be a little tight but I think I might get away with it.

I'm wondering if the plastic clips on the car are strong enough to withstand the 'spring' in the hose. I'm sure some lined P - clips or similar could be fitted instead.

For three metres of hose and all the fittings at either end it will cost about £200.

Goodridge G-Line is much more flexible than the 200 series so may be worth a go

Yeah, Mikalor p clips will do the job nicely. 200 sounds about right, it's about what I spent on my build. It's the fittings that add up, the hose itself isn't too bad. JIC fittings are good though.

They are certainly expensive. I'm just waiting for Aeromotive in the US to confirm the dimensions of one of their adaptors and I will get it all ordered.
