Hi, I'm building a Sidewinder and want the standard fuel tank at the front, can anyone advise if this is the correct kit to get for the fuel lines?

1600 twin port with single carb (for now)

Thanks

Neil

Yes it'll be fine. Just dont mount the inline filter anywhere near the engine.

You'll still need the 6mm od steel or Kunifer pipe through the tunnel.

Hi,

What size bore did you go for?
5.6mm in the cool-air kit.  I'm thinking I may need 1/4" for my 36 Drla carbs, but
I can't find R9 hose in the imperial size or 6.4/ 6.5 equivalent

Not a fan of jubilee clips especially on fuel lines. If you can, see what pirtek can offer.they cost a bit more but when petrol is involved peace of mind is priceless.

If you can't fix it with a hammer it's not broken!!!

The Cool Air kit has proper fuel line clips, not Jubilees.
