      The plastic sheath is heat and abrasive protection and only runs from there to the top of the fire wall.

        It (finally?) appears to be my turn on this... after 30 years the original fuel lines are now corroded further than the MOT tester can classify as "advisory" (but not leaking - yet), and the under car ones need replacing.

        Is the general opinion that originals are long ago NLA, and the best option is to splice in cupronickel/kunifer 8mm pipe with approprate fittings (Wade or other decent ones)?
        Shocked, exhausted, hosed, bushed, dumped, chipped, mounted, filtered, gauged, packed, intermittantly wiped and braked. I mean broken. Now, about the car...

          Yes. Kunifer is the way to go

            A long while ago i replaced my lines with oem ones and it was impossible to fit them without taking the engine out so splicing in and fabricating is definitely going to be a better option.
