Quick 'how to' replace fuel lines

[Tonks4x4]

having a real struggle to locate any 8mm pipe...non in my local autofactors (partco) or others.

Where can you actually get this Cupro-nickel pipe from, i have the wade's here waiting but without pipe its pointless

yeah I saw that on the pictures at the beginning of this thread, will order some of the new type then

[Mikes2]

the type 85 are NLA but only have space for two lines - feed and return.

Later cars have 3 lines incl the CC. You could probably use the later fittings on the older cars

yup, i think i even closed one without stabbing myself with said screwdriver once

they are a biatch aren't they!

[quattrostyle]

hmm, I guess there is a tool for doing it the easy way, I'm not saying there is one but there are tools for almost anything. And yes I broke mine with a flatblade screwdriver.

That's interesting, I didn't know that there is a special tool for closing these clamps. Do you have a link?
I just use a 4 or 5mm flatblade screwdriver to open and close them. Opening is reasonably easy, closing them, well that's not so easy but it can be done.

You shouldn't really need to order any of these as the rubbers can be cleaned up and reused as can the clips. You could be unlucky I suppose and break a clip although I think that would be difficult to do.

well I broke one of mine, I think because I don't have the right tool to close the clamps again. It took a lot of force to do.

@quattrostyle,
I don't know why you think they clamps and rubbers are NLA, they can still be ordered.

sorry man that's what the man at the desk told me, maybe the type 85 clamps only then?

[Error404]

the clips are stainless so should last for ever... and the rubber is pretty tough, mine all cleaned up like new

[s2driveruk]

thanks for that...they don't look in bad shape but useful to have the part numbers recorded on there just in case.

[Nuvo]

Sure, here you go:
895 201 449 B CLAMP
895 201 245 COVER

[s2driveruk]

...phew do you have part numbers?
