Running fuel lines in tunnel.
I put this in the engine section because it can be used with carb's, or fuel injection for any motor transplant (as long as the motor stays in the back) For my motor I needed to run two lines (feed and return for EFI)
This is 3/8" 304 SS .023 wall tubing with -6 AN SS fittings welded to the ends (not for the novice welder to attempt please) Each line was argon purged during welding and then pressure tested @90 psi. for 20 minutes each. This test was done after welding fittings on tube, and then again after welding fittings to frame. Some of the bends had to made AFTER the tube was installed in the tunnel. Mainly the ones at the bulk head as I fed mine in from the frame horn end. Also, important to secure the lines somewhere in the middle of the run (I used the old tab from the clutch tube I cut out) You will have to cut two holes big enough to work with in the passenger side of the tunnel to help with this modification.
