Advise on Pauer fuel lines
Anyone have pictures of the Pauer fuel lines installed? I need to see how they install/route in the wheel-well.
I have the lines and tried to match the length to the current lines in the engine bay. But this means they mount very low in the wheel-well. I could mount them higher in the wheel-well, but this would mean having to cut the lines and remount the fittings in the engine bay.
Also, either way they will not fit in the rubber mountings in the wheel-well. If they are routed outside the rubber mountings, does the wheel-well cover still fit?
Some pictures of existing installations would really help me.

Wellllll... I have the Lindsey setup.
Pulled tire off, pulled wheel well out, cut lines with a small pipe cutter. You may need to do the same thing.
Nice thing is that if for some reason they leaked, they wouldn't be leaking over the top of/next to the exhaust manifold...

Thanks, just as I figured, no real way to keep the rubber mountings for the pipes. Did you end up cutting the new pipes to make them shorter? and does the wheel-well liner still fit with the xtra bulk. It's a road car so I would like to refit the liner.

Yes the liner fitment is unfettered... LOL
You cut the fuel lines as Sam has shown... it is adisable to offset a tad as he has done for fitment.

Here is my implementation. One of my brake lines is right next
to the connector. I later went back and wrapped that section
of brake line with silicone tape to avoid metal-to-metal contact.

Thanks everyone, just what I was looking for. Darren, that is a neat and unclutered instalation. Also Pauerman has been very helpful and has sent me another picture which I have posted here for future searchers on this topic.
