Replacing Fuel Pipes

[roseytvr]

Have done some searching and gather that I need 2m of pipe with proper fuel clips and probably whip the Plenum off. A couple of questions please:
1 Consensus says 8mm bore but I seem to recall reading somewhere it was smaller (?7mm) with aircon - anyone able to confirm this?
2 If the plenum is coming off do I need any new gaskets or seals to refit?
3 Are the pipes in the same place as on a chim?
Thanks

Not sure about questions 1 and 3 but 2 you just need some gasket glue like Hylomar or similar.
There is no gasket as such.
Put the sealant on the trumpet base rather than the plenum top and leave to go tacky before you attempt to refit the plenum.
Good luck.

Not sure on size, but I just took a piece to shop and got them to match it up.

Just re-done mine wilst my body was off. See chimaera section body off update.

I used 8mm Hose and proper clips and was a pucka fit

Thanks lads - Neal does your chim have aircon?

[quattrophenia]

Didn't you know, only the griff lads need aircon

[roseytvr]

is that because the chim lads aint fast enough to generate heat??

No aircon on mine.
