Replacement fuel line - Filter to accumulator

[joe-motion]

Hi,

this looks like it has seen better days, assume there isnt a direct replacement available? Can i simply use Gates 8mm 5/16 fuel line with appropriate fuel clamps and new banjos?? Appreciate this is a high pressure area so obviously needs to be right

That should read pump to filter. The damper as far as i remember goes between pump and tank. Will most likely replace with 8mm gates line and fuel line clamps unless anyone has any better solutions?

Yes I did this on my 2.8i Tasmin and it was fine.

Yes, could even clean those "banjo's" up and use again.

Yeah but new ones would be nicer, any recommendations?

No, I looked into getting some nice stainless ones but got confused with all the different sizes , hence cleaned up originals.

Somewhere like here or hereif you have the patience to work out it out? Although they could be anodised alluminium, not stainless? may be I just found bolts in stainless...
Much easier if you have somewhere local and can just plonk all your bits on the counter and say match those please"

Hi fellow S2 enthusiasts, being in a similar situation during my recent restoration after unsuccessfully trying to manufacture one my local TVR dealer supplied me with one available from the TVR club that was the exact size 24.5cm with 12 & 14mm dia banjo fittings in flexible stainless, part number L0201 RG

The TVRCC do not have a spares dept. more likely it came from TVR Parts ?
Whichever, it looks like a neat solution.


Catchy Forum name you have there Jeremy
