Removing fuel line from tunnel?
(I'm also posting this in Speed and Drag Racing section)
What holds the hard line in the tunnel? I want to remove the stock F.I. feed line and replace it with 3/8" line. I have the rubber escutcheons removed from either end, and I can turn it with some difficulty. Is there some hidden fastener I need to remove to get the line out?
Thanks,
Jim

There are several metal clips that the fuel line is held in by. Fuel line is inserted under them and then the clip is bent down over it. You won't be able to replace the steel line with anything without opening up the tunnel as all the bits are fastened in before the bottom is welded on.

I formed the bottom to wrap around the clutch cable tube but made sure it ended prior to the fuel line. Hopefully this will work good.
Hot, humid air is less dense than cooler, drier air. This can allow a golf ball to fly through the air with greater ease, as there won't be as much resistance on the ball.

Ok should I remove these pics from the type 3 thread and start a new thread? I thought they would be the same thanks for pointing out the differences Tom.Tom Notch wrote:While those are great pix of a t1 tunnel, a T3 is different. The fuel lines are attached to the sides of the tunnel. This means you have to try a different tactic on cutting holes into it.
ask me how I know.......
