fuel/brake line and loom fittings

what're the sva regulations regarding how all the wiring and fuel/brake lines are connected and attached to the car?

how often do they have to be clamped/attached to the chassis?

is it allowed to glue (well, sillycone goop) the pipes?
(specifically fuel) to the chassis (in the tunnel, along with other (probably jubilee clips riveted down, (is that allowed?))

anything else i need to know?

cheers
alex

Thats pretty much how i plan to wire/cable my car. I posted a thread a couple of weeks ago about the same sort of thing and it sounds like this is the best way to go.

I used plastic p clips from premier wiring for brakes and will do for the wiring. I think i am going to use metal p clips with rubber inserts for fuels pipe. Just to be a bit safer.

Local Maplins Electronics will sell natural nylon p-clips, in a good variety of sizes. If you don't mind 'white' finish.

Cheers
