Pedal box fitting & fuel pipe type

hi,

i am currently building a locost style kit and have a couple of IVA questions.

1. I have a floor mounted pedal box for brake & clutch. Is it ok to bolt this to the floor as I want to be able to easily remove it if needs be. Or does it need to be permanently fixed?

2. The fuel pipes I have running under the car are steel pipes. One of the pipes is about 4 inches too short to run the length of the car. Would it be deemed unsafe if I put steel braided rubber hose for that last 4 inches or do i need a whole new pipe?

Thanks all.

"The fuel pipesrunning under the car are steel pipes" I understood this was a no no. worth checking tho. Most people run fuel pipes down one side of the tranmission tunnel.

i'm following the westfield manual, albeit about 18 months old, so unless it has been updated since i thought it would be ok.

Anybody know any different??
