Since discovering my lines routing was reversed in a previous post I am fixing this. I am surely overthinking it. Going from this post:
http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showtopic=372627 Sort of hybrid of the photos provided, t connector, and slightly bent fuel filter bracket. Return is not connected in yet. Nothing rubs. Seem fine? Double checking before I tighten up as I DO NO WANT to do this again. Much more arduous than expected.   |

I like the fuel line hose and proper fuel line hose clams. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

What I like to do is just have one hose from the feed tunnel hard line directly to the feed engine bay hard line, and one hose from the return tunnel hard line directly to the return engine bay hard line. Really clean and simple and gets rid of the fuel pump vapor locking.
Of course this involves putting a 2 port pump under the tank or steering rack. Worth it for so many reasons though and since you are this far alone anyways... |

I also eliminate the pre pump filter entirely and add a very fine particulate high pressure post pump filter. Helps with pump cavitation.

Found this supplier on Ebay that has a variety of aluminum adaptors at reasonable price.
https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_ssn=autofi...6.m3561.l161211 For example, this is 10 to 12mm.  |

you should add some kind of heat insulation, like this

I used this piece from Tangerine to do the the reducing from the feed line. Hard to see in the pic. On the left. So I could use the correct fuel filter. And bent the bracket a little.

I am curious about this. Have a pic? It's just so tight doing it the "proper" way. The lines are not easy to bend into essentially an area the size of a shoebox.
