Don't know if running a fuel pipe through the tube work is a good idea, it could chaffe on something like weld spatter and then a fuel leak
could go unoticed untill it had done a lot of damage...
just a thought...same goes for the wiring ..

How 'bout puting a bigger pipe through first, (say plakky conduit type stuff) then putting the pipe/loom in the pipe ?
If you know what I mean

Jonti.
that would certainly protect the fuel pipe/cables etc, it could be fun to watch someone attempt pushing the placky conduit type stuff down the chasis
tubes only concern there is what happens should you decide to weld a brkt or something to that rail???

Brilliant idea, let me know how you get on with it. Won't the holes where it goes in and out be a weak point?.
yours, Pete.

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

If I were an inspector I might think things like: you can't check the condition of those pipes now or later on down the road, so it's
unsafe.
Note I have no idea about what's in the SVA manual, but I wouldn't risk this approach myself.

Mmmmm ..you're probably right, the best way might be to use steel or copper tube and build it in when you weld up. Then there'd still be a
chance of blowing a hole in it I suppose. Sounds too hard for me but I'm past the stage when I could consider it anyway....pee clips for ever I
say......... oh and , if you welded a new bit onto a tube with a plakky pipe in it.......it would melt........but you knew that didn't you you
teaser ?
