Indyblade fuel pipe
Anybody got any archive pics, or suggestions as to a good way/route for running their fuel pipes into the engine bay and up towards the carbs with a
`Blade engine, thought i`d sussed it but any ideas welcome before I start bending!
Cheers, Colin

I ran mine along the tunnel on the opposite side to the brake pipes and wiring (just in case!) using some 8mm copper pipe bought from Wickes, I had
loads left over so if you want some I can send you some no problem.
I then stopped the copper just at the engine end of the tunnel by the footwell and then used some braided fuel pipe to connect between this and the
carb T-piece.
HTH,
Rich.

I'm using a Pinto, but I routed mine the same way as Shortie, also with Ø8mm copper pipe.
I found it easiest to straighten the pipe of the big coil and feed it through the tunnel from the fuel tank end. Then I gradualy formed it by hand
round the bulkhead and along one of the lower chassis rails up to where the fuel pump is on the engine.

Yes i`ve got the pipe and all that, really wondering where to end the solid (copper pipe and start the flexi to the carbs, thinking SVA and all that
about keeping it all secure and tidy, whatever the rules are for clamping pipe runs, solid or flexible?
Cheers
