Another Update All fuel and brake lines are now finished. I decided to go with a dead end fuel style setup which only uses one fuel line, no return from fuel rail. The FPR is mounted in the boot and allows me to use this style set up. We will have to see how it goes i've also ran a return line as well just in case it goes pear shaped when being tuned.

Thanks mate appreciate it
Yep the clamps were custom made by Jonathan from vintage motor garage, he is a fitter and turner by trade. Yer i couldn't find a place that sells clamps with different size on the one clamp for 1/2 feed and 3/8 return. I photo Googled 3 way fuel clamp and copied the idea from a picture I found. Makes things much neater.
Hi some more photos of break lines

+1. Some excellent attention to detail. Did you use an off the shelf system (Fuel Pressure Regulators, pumps, etc.) for the non-return style fuel system?

Hi Fellas The car is getting wired up at the moment it's taking longer then I want. I wanted it ready for the Datsun day at prospect. I used the radium fuel pressure regulator as well so everything is the same and I can troubleshoot in future if there's issues without the issue of different brands involved Radium use this system in wrx and evo will just have to see how it goes. It's all been setup for E85. Thanks Tim
