Brake / fuel Line question ?
big_wasa - 14/8/07 at 09:07 PM

Is there any reason why the above cant be run underneath the car like on a tintop ?

Ground clearance should be fine and was thinking of solid lines front to back.

Its for the new toy, the body has been partly bonded on and the lines have just been taped to the side rails and fiber glassed over in places. What a bodger and thats just some of the good bits.

cheers again

MY fuel lines are fixed to the under side of the floor pan (copper pipe) no issues

For safety I would jst make sure that it isn't the lowest part of the floor - speed bumps are not exactly kind to the undersides of our cars and a small scrape could be catastrophic

As Raz man says also most tin top now have the lines protected by a plastic cover

most production cars also have some part of the chassis lower than the brake lines / fuel lines too, so that if the car does ground out, its not the fuel lines first.

yep, wot they said! Fine underneath bu not good to be the lowest spot

Ok thanks. Will need to have a look and see if I can tidy up the routing on the ones already fitted.
