Yep! As above, easily done in a weekend if you don't need to go up into the engine bay....

Quite a fun job too!

Took me an afternoon to bend all 3 lines from tank through and up the engine bay.

I got my kunifer from clarik engineering (fleabay) cheapest I could find

Ha Ha!! I wouldn't call it fun.

I made my own and as the guys suggest it's fairly easy to do it yourself in a few hours as long as all goes well. It's definitely not a job for chain smokers though!!

Me too, good quality stuff too

and another.....and if i can do it, anyone can

couple of tips i seem to remember from doing it myself...I cut each pip from about the centre of the car once they were free from the rubber mounts, then i could drain down the petrol in the lines into a container, saves splashes and surprises, easier to remove the line and also you can practice there before trying to cut the pipe cleanly near the firewall

Secondly, when all 3 new lines are on the car...then work from middle to front...then to the back on re-securing the rubber mounts...i found it a doddle to reclip them this way

the clips are easy to get back on - as long as you don't mind stabbing yourself in the hand a few time while doing them

I don't know what you were playing at to stab yourself!! The 3lines are quite a squeeze though! I found putting some heat shrink on before you bend them useful then position it in tight places where they could rub. Then shrink it when its on the car.

shouldn't rub on anything if you make them right William

[willg54]

They shouldn't ....and don't may I add!

It was mainly around the engine bay I used it as they got very close. Can't do any hard. If you look at the oem lines they have plastic coating in places to protect them

On the CQ at least I'm sure thats more for stone protection as it was only on the rear transverse sections infront of the rear subframe. I tried to get it off to put on my new lines but it just disinegrated
