Fuel line routing - frame connectors
OK, so I finally worked out the fuel line routing. Took me forever, lot of trial and error and internal debate. Though I probably over thought it, I felt like this project merited a good deal of planning before I set it in place.There are some important factors to consider safety-wise; ensuring the line was not lower than any part of the frame, proximity to exhaust heat and chassis flex/vibration.
I also got to use my cool-guy Ridgid 37 degree flaring tool and Imperial Eastman tubing bender. I enjoy working with AN-type fittings, gives a clean and finished look.
Here are some pics.
Looking forward, inside of pass. side connector;
Looking towards the rear inside of right rear wheel arch, heat shield on;
Mopar Muscle did essentially the same thing on their Valiant project several years back. Was glad to know someone else had the same idea and was willing to put it out in a monthly mag. See here.
Lines need to be secured but it's in. I like the way it turned out.
