hi guys anyone got a facelift there scrapping. looking for a full set of fuel pipes from tank to engine. had a look up here and there isn't anything got my fingers crossed someone can help me out

[Diamond Black Geezer]

Can have a look - there's a omega at the scrappy - 37k miles on the clock (genuine) will get a price - what's the going rate for a full set of fuel pipes these days?

[davieboy0312]

Dunno mate. But if you could find out I would be very grateful.

Are these the same throughout models? Had to remove for the sand blasting but wouldn't separate so had to cut em off

All petrol ones are the same, but saloon and estate are different. Readily available new

All petrol ones are the same, but saloon and estate rear sections are different. And 4pot/V6 front sections are different. Readily available new

Edited for clarity.

Ah this was a concern I had - how you'd remove complete.... will see howI get on, but suspect they're going to be a pain.

Looking like won't be able to get in until after Xmas now (basically only can get in at weekends, I'm busy shopping/wrapping saturday now, I foudn out the other day 

Can they wait until... next year? 

[davieboy0312]

Called the stealer. Can get some of the pipes but not all but there about 60-90 quid each!!!! That's a dear set of pipes

[Diamond Black Geezer]

  Gulp!

Hmmm.... I'd be hanging on until I can get in the scrappy mate. 

[davieboy0312]

Even wanting 250+vat for a clutch kit. Think they see me as a walking wallet

[Marks DTM Calib]

Clutch kits can be got anywhere, buypartsby are good for those.

The fuel hose is easy to get, I use this company:

It means using short length of rubber with stainless fuel line clips for joints but its good stuff

[davieboy0312]

So you don't have to use the hard plastic lines. Good stuff

[Nick W]

The black plastic fuel pipe is available from hydraulic suppliers(it's airline on trucks); expect to pay about £20 for 30metres. It is possible to form permanent curves in it using a heat gun, and 30m is more than enough to practice with. Get the joining hose and clamps from the same place.

Have I got this right davieboy0312, it was an MoT adivsory that your fuel lines were 'corroded' - the metal bits which enter the engine bay? (everything else being plastic as just mentioned above)

[davieboy0312]

No mate. I'm the nutter that's powder coated his engine etc and getting shell ready for same treatment next summer. But had to strip shell for blasting. Pipes wouldn't come apart so had to improvise with a big knife. Didn't think they would be so expensive or rare to find
