May I throw my penny's worth into this conversation, not about the technical
stuff (I leave that to Nigel), but on sourcing the pipes.
As it happens I have ordered a new kit of parts for the fuel and sight
guages from Europa direct. Karen has given me a price which is not
unreasonable and for less than 90 (approx 135 euros) the whole kit is
available. I did suggest that with the LAA Rally coming up this might be an
opportunity for bulk ordering in order to get the price down, saving on
postage etc. So anyone in the market for new fuel pipes and sight lines let
me know so that I can arrange some packages to be made up.

PS we might even be able to do a special price for Club Members!!! (or those
wanting to join)
