Fuel line routing through front fender well

Rmcharger you do nice work, but I just don’t know if I like that chosen path.

Thanks. I'm really not sure how else to do it. From the outer bulkhead you have two choices - through the wheel well or in the space between the firewall and frame - I chose the wheel well. Frankly, I don't want to get involved with making a shield on top of the inner fender, it just seems clunky. The way it is now is obviously not perfect but no method is.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not being defensive but I am being serious when I say I've been going back and forth about this for years. It wasn't an easy or snap decision to put the line there, trust me. I literally stared at it for days trying to think of an elegant solution - there isn't one. There had to be a choice made to move the project forward.

I looked at your thread, it's basically the same as what I'm doing by running the line through the outer bulkhead. You didn't show any pics of how you got the line into the engine compartment though. How did you accomplish that?
