Wednesday - Part 2:
For the new copper fuel line I had to use my cheap and cheerful pipe bender.



I then cut the old fuel line a bit further back to mock up the position of the new.
( As I wanted the end of the new pipe to be held by the P-Clip. )



At this point the rest of the pipe was just sticking up in the air.



After some more pipe bending, it was time to cut it to length.



Then I could fix it all into place, with just a very short rubber hose join.



Followed by a nice curve up into the boot floor.



To another P-Clip inside the boot.



Before cutting the new rubber hose (also seen above) to the right length.



Note:
The rubber hose is zip tipped to the framework, but I couldn't get a decent photo.

Then it was the moment of truth as I tried to start the engine.

The good news is that is fired up and ran without any problems.

So this photo is just like the last one except there is no petrol can in the shot.



Obviously, I couldn't take the car out for a test ride as there are no seats in it.

I also remembered that I need to make the alloy access panels for the side mirrors before I fit the panels.

As I need to drill some holes in the cockpit side panels for the access panels' fixing screws.

So until next time, take care, Paul.
