You are both right and it is because of all the past post like these that I malled over this problem for weeks. My only solution was to move the FPR to the shock tower and make sure the lines are routed carefully.

Why is the way I did it ok?
Because I'm a mechanic.
Because I made my own lines and can only blame myself.
And because I still inspect and check them every time the hood is open and do a major inspection every winter while its down for 5-6 months

Greg is right, you have to be very carful that the line will not rub anything.

The way I did it is not better then Rogers and Greg Browns lines are very high quality,
I just did it different

These are pictures from the build last year;
to show the rear fuel lines and FPR mounted on the drivers tower in response to "namasgt" and greg "blown 87" post.



FPR by brake booster


Two lines here and 1 goes under the back of the head and up to the drivers rail


1 to the cooler and the other loops to the passenger rail


I will make sure nothing is touching the steel braided lines or that they can not rub on anything and cause damage.
I temporarily tie strapped the passenger line for now till I get some clamps

opps cooler fitting is loose

Brad, after seeing these pics, it sure looks like you are headed down a bumpy road my friend.

These lines should not touch anything but Adel clamps and the connectors that they hook to.
Your lines are not secure and it appears that they have pressure put on the ends by the routing of the hoses.

Standoffs and Adel clamps are your friend when doing SS braid.

At least that is what I am seeing from the pictures.

Yes these were just the original pics while sorting and building the harness. She is all clamped and harness is tied up

Cool.

If I were going the stainless braided route, I'd seriously follow A&P standards. In addition to Adel clamps, I'd spiral wrap all closely intersecting electrical wires and fluid lines. Although routing could look good in the bay even when revving the motor up, it's difficult to see where the motor and hardware migrates under the stress of driving with engine torque, weight shift, and drivetrain movement. The spiral wrap is available in many colors, but I'd use the standard black nylon stuff for the fuel lines and the semi transparent polypropylene for the electrics... Though there are many newer materials available like Teflon and TectorGuard. The execution of your routing looks very good by the way....

You can also slide clear or black hose over any areas that may come into contact with anything just in case.

Some good hose coverings here.
