Solid fuel line - where to buy?
Hiya,
As the title says, where do you go to buy a length of the solid metal fuel pipe?
I need the short length that goes thro the rear engine tinware.
Cheers,
Mike

Repco sells it. You can buy lengths off the roll in the store. Or in the past I've bought entire rolls to do the line in the tunnel etc.

Can you get it in straight sections? Or does it come off a roll?
Cause I'm going to be needing some stainless for the fuel, brake and clutch lines on my buggy.
