Classic fuel lines

Used kunifer pipe when mine (86 3.5EFi) went.
It's around 20 years ago & IIRC 1/4" bore which I think is 6mm not the 3/16 normally used in brake lines.
Remove the old ones carefully & use them as patterns to bend the new.

You may find that the original ones are obsolete & NLA.
Have a look on here to see which ones you want:

Click on the heading, then the numbers on the parts to get the part numbers. Some part numbers will have been superceded but the new numbers usually show up when you google the old.

If you need to do any tightish bends get an old broom handle or similar & file a groove slightly larger than the od of the pipe.
Clamp the handle in a vice & bend the pipe in the groove by hand
Stops a sudden kink appearing which will close the pipe.[/QUOTE
Damn good idea ! I just got 2 lengths of the correct pipe from the JCB garage next door ! so weekend i shall sort it out ( weather permiting )
When i found them on the internet i could not belive the prices ! £120 each plus £45 for the short one from the pump too the filter.
Thanks again for your advice..
