	Quick test of the water really, as I've currently got the car in pieces, and the idea is to turn it into a road/rally prepped/track monster with very little left inside it. Its been like this for 18 months due to one thing or another cropping up, but now I've got most of the tools and bits I need to get cracking with it, I may as well do a bit now and then while at the same time returning my daily to the road. Question stands at: Will routing the fuel lines from the tank to engine and back, pass an MOT if they are routed through the vehicle? Further to this, will routing the rear brake line through the bulkhead to the boot space/rear seat area through the vehicle pass and MOT? If they will, are there any guidlines on which tubing can be used? Will such products as the following suffice? secure.demonweb.co.uk/earls100/earls_shop/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=268_18&zenid=d3cf828e732ccdd3666a61664a044808 secure.demonweb.co.uk/earls100/earls_shop/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=269_27&zenid=d3cf828e732ccdd3666a61664a044808 Or will the following also pass an MOT? secure.demonweb.co.uk/earls100/earls_shop/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=275_253_255&zenid=d3cf828e732ccdd3666a61664a044808 Not in the specific sizes listed, as I have a local supplier that can order in any specifics I require at cost price. Many thanks in advance, Steve

	and for fuel pipe inside the car, keep the hose runs as short as possible and use proper tube. ive heard many a tale of fuel hose letting the vapours into the cabin area

	Duely noted, many thanks, shouldn't rub on anything as I intend to knock up an alloy tray to run the length of the vehicle if all goes to plan, in which the lines will be secured with 'P' Clips with the rubber insert. Runs for all lines will be a maximum of 2.5mtr inside the cabin, as I intend to take the shortest routes possible.
