crogthomas 0 Posted November 10, 2006 Halfrauds might have them, but i dont think you'll find them in DIY stores. Alternatives? http://www.vehicle-wiring-products.co.uk/V...oses/hoses.html Or if you have a local engineering firm, they could turn one up on a lathe in about 5 minutes.

sonofsam 5 Posted November 10, 2006 Reducers they are more commonly known as get some decent hose clips with that size dia. pipe aswell ( ie.not jubilee ) Aquatics centers should stock something similar too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ashley peddle 3 Posted November 10, 2006 ha ha thats just wrong the pipe from the fuel filter is 5mm internal diameter... the pipe from the fuel regulator is 8mm internal diameter... would it be ok to use copper pipe as a "step down" ??? it has an external diameter fo 7ish and internal of 5ish... just dont wonna put anything on thats gona piss out fuel... i have lots of proper fuel jubilee clips (decent ones that come with 12 bar fuel line...) dont want it to go kaboom im fitting carbs and its all sorted now its just 2 regulators to fit and then BROOOOOOOM (well in theory anyways ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jackherer 543 Posted November 10, 2006 I'm pretty sure copper is ok in fuel lines, I've used it before over long periods and had no problems. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
