We had previously shaped and fit the under-car fuel and brake pipes so this was an easy one. The fuel pipe is steel and is affixed to the car with two hairpin-type clips into the chassis rail as well as two “P” clips along the chassis rails in the engine bay. We had previously fit two 10-32 nutserts to the chassis for the fastening of the “P” clips. After installation we fit a rubber fuel hose between the SU fuel pump and the fuel pipe. The end of the fuel pipe in the engine bay will need to be reformed once we see how the steering column and engine sit in the car.

The brake pipe is a cunifer alloy line and it runs from the brake pipe union in the engine bay to the fitting on the back of the bulkhead adjacent to the axle. The pipe will eventually attach to a rubber brake hose that connects to the brake union fitting on the rear axle. The brake pipe is affixed to the car with two hairpin-type clips into the chassis rail, and a “P” clip is used under the car where the pipe turns upward into the engine bay. Another final “P” clip secures the pipe to the outside of the RH footwell vertical wall before the pipe curls to the brake pipe union.

All of the clips and fasteners are shown in Bugeye Restoration Video Episode Seventy-six.
