fuel line securing?
since brake pipes have to have some sort of plastic coating on them, do braided fuel lines have to also?

plastic coating? r u sure? i had bare copper brake pipes throughout my car and it passed fine, as for the fuel lines i used braided hosing throughout
and fastened with p-clips no more than every 6", no complaints from the sva man.

the braided part of the brake line must not foul any other part of the suspension or bodywork etc when the wheels are turned from full lock turning
left to full lock turning right! some people wrap the braided brakeline in a spiral plastic to protect the line but its not a obligatory. same for the
back the braided hose must not foul anything

ah, mine are fully PVC coated ones from Russ so no worries there
so braided fuel lines, as long as they're secured regularly using rubber lined P clips i can't go far wrong?

no more than 6" apart, (30cm's), braided brake lines are coated in clear PVC when manufactured.

SVA manual just says "inadequately clipped". In other words as long as the pipes are secure, so 300mm is probably enough.
All though braided pipe is sleeved with plastic, anywhere the pipe could get rubbed (like corners or exposed on wishbones) they should be spiral
wrapped. The sva tester made me do mine.
