Nylon Fuel Lines

    

The nylon fuels lines run from front to back through the tunnel exiting into the congested rear area and the engine bay. There are dedicated brackets in the chassis which the lines are fed through with associated grommets. What's a bit strange is that whilst the brackets are useful, there are not enough to hold the lines all the way through the tunnel. I would advise that GBS could make this a lot easier on their standard builds by doing IVA compliant spacing of brackets throughout the tunnel.

Fuel lines run over the bracket
    The lines run through grommets at the back of the     tunnel. They run forward over an aluminium              bracket with additional protection where they are        cabled tied to the chassis.

 The fuel lines then crossed to the right   hand side of the tunnel so they could     exit on the intake side of the engine.

To the right hand side of the gear box

 Once on the right hand side of the   tunnel the fuel lines were tied to the   fixed brake lines with cable ties and   additional protection of the fuel lines   where the cable ties were attached.

 The spacing of attachments to the   chassis are well within the IVA   spacing requirements.
The fuel lines then exit on the RHS of the car on the intake side of the engine. Once the rest of the front fuel system is done they will be cable tied to the chassis along with other systems like the clutch hydraulic cable. You can see the little brass inserts in the fuel lines which need to be there for the transition to rubber pipe so the clamps don't crush the nylon pipes.
