Brake / Fuel line securing
Hi all,
I am in the process of routing and securing the fuel and brake lines and an looking at how to fix them securely. I am sure that I have seen somewhere
on here that there is a recommended gap between the fixings to keep the IVA man happy but I cant seem to find it anywhere.
I have read the manual and it only talks about adequate fixings which is kinda vague and open for interpretation.
Any advice gratefully received.........
Cheers
Chris

The manual doesn't seem to make much mention of it for brake lines other than to say secure. The standard on here seems to be 150-200mm. I did
mine at 150mm to make sure............(he says running away to check manual).
From memory fuel lines are at 300mm but obviously need to not rub etc.

30cm is the recommended max gap from SVA. stick with that and i don't think you can go far wrong. but you're right, i've found the
IVA really vague on fuel lines. it doesn't even say anything about the markings fuel hose needs or anything,

300mm --- ie 1 foot

These arel availble from usual sources including local motor factors, ebay

The photo of the double clip on ebay is possibly the worst photo I have ever seen on ebay!
Thanks for the recommendation though!

no more than 300mm apart! must be secured to the chassis (p-clips etc) must not rub or chaf anything obviously.

i thought it was 100mm, not 300... i'm saying this because it's what it says in the haynes manual (Gibbs)
i did it every 100...

Watch where they come past the Diff, Uses some of that plastic split tubing top protect them.
