Gave the car a bit of a pre IVA thrash about today..
when i checked everything over afterward i found the gearbox has moved more than i thought it would.
It has put a dent in copper fuel pipe in tunnel.
I obviously want to change it before IVA,can i run copper or braided fuel hose on the outside of tunnel in the passenger compartment..
What about a stiffer gearbox mount? Shouldn't move too much or is the pipe pretty close?
Wouldn't want a fuel line in the passenger side as I don't think it would just look right.
Cheers

as said, i would go for a stiffer mount, or re route the fuel pipe down the tunnel still but out off the way, or in rubber or braided for a
section?

I would NOT put any fuel pipe in the cab / passenger area.
In the event of a fire, you want this as far away from people as possible.
Check the IVA rules, as I am sure there was something in the SVA manual about it.
Certainly you cannot run fuel and electric alongside each other. (A bit obvious really)
I have my fuel and electrics on opposite sides of the tunnel and inside the tunnel.
I have messed up.. I ran the brake lines fuel lines and electrics before i put the engine and box in..
the rear of the box was close to the fuel pipe, but i thought i would be ok.
the main problem is I made my tunnel top out of steel and rivetted in and fillered the edges..
I will probably have to bite the bullet and take it all off.....

"The fuel tank must be positioned so that in the event of a leak the fuel could not accumulate or find a path to the passenger
compartment."
The manual says that about the tank, doesn't mention anything specific about pipes.
