Maybe if we all hassle Rich (crazyquiff), he can get something together on this one :wink: . I know he was talking about getting some fuel lines sorted out, and I for one think all my pipes need replacing sooner rather than later…….

Are you talking about the metal fuel line or the two flexi hoses at the back?
TurboMK1 has the flexi lines - I am also sourcing them.
Automec do a metal line which you bend to shape for about ?50 I think.
I am also sourcing a repair kit to replace the rear 2 or 300mm of the metal pipe with appropriate fittings to join the lines (only some wire wool and a standard pipe cutter will be required).
Watch this space!

Already dunnit
Look at the middle bottom of the "Home Page" for a link (or Article Archive - November 2004) to a little treatise that I wrote on replacing the metal pipes. Mine rotted just over the rear axle beam (where its propped up gainst a piece of anti-rattle foam (read "sponge"!). There is a 100% chance that you will need new flex pipes (I was lucky enough to source the last(ish) of the originals) so take up the lad's offers for replacement of these. If your pipe end fittings are fine (front ones will be!) you can get thick wall copper pipe from a hydraulics factor or go straight to Automec…don't use the thinner small bore heating pipes fron B&Q..they'll break in a short while in this particular environment (copper+vibration = work harden = brittle = fatigue = bl**dy great cracks in your pipes).
While your at it, derust, rustproof and paint your brackets…particular your fuel pump housing bracket…they are rarer than rocking horse "sh one t " to replace.
Read on …………

Other items in the pipeline so to speak, will let you know what and when.
Oh, before I forget, headlining material, I now have a supplier sorted for this, and can normally beat Martrim pricing for this. Again if anyone is interested pm or email me.

Glad to help
TurboTech..the pigly tail fuel pipe (accumulator to feed pipe is 171 201 218 C
The rubber Elbow pipe from tank to pump is 171 201 311 D ( I believe this is as rare as Rocking Horse Sh*te also but methinks a piece of the neoprene high press (not that it is - high press that is) fuel injection pipe from halfords will do the trick
