Sutty2006 Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 I’m looking for the original fuel pipe that runs front to back on a carb model manta coupe. I believe these were plastic? Delivery may be an issue, but I’m sure I can work something out. Failing that, what do people use to replace it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Metalbasher Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 Hi Sutty. Our friend Edelschmiede sell a full kit, it quotes the material as tecalan, search fuel pipe on their site. I’ve done mine with pipe from the UK, I’ll dig out what and where from tomorrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sutty2006 Posted March 20 Author Share Posted March 20 Think I’ll probably go for standard copper nickel pipe, seams the easiest way. But my local hose shop only sell it in 25ft rolls at 35 quid. Only need enough to do the car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try plumbing shop for microbore 8mm, they sometimes sell in 5m lengths or per m if Indy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
