I'll have a ring round tomorrow. What sort of flexi stuff do I need to be asking for? I asked at a motor factors earlier and they gave me about 10 options.

I have some copper pipe we can use, may also have enough flexi hose too, but it may be too small bore. I used copper for the lines on the slug, it is officially not ideal as it will harden/crack eventually but define eventually!

You need something like 8mm internal diameter high pressure fuel hose.

Murran - I have some cables but I think they are the ones that were too short, or had the wrong ends when we did the Baur - may be for a Golf. We can have a look at them while we are fettling cars in general.

Lifesaver!! I actually found an Andrew Page not far from here but only at 12.15 and they shut at half past!

I got a metre of 8mm high pressure flexi fuel hose from a motor factors too.

Nice one Jim.. Did that spare ECU arrive?
