Hi , I need to replace my 1/4 fuel line with both subframes attatched the rear looks diddly but ok but the front looks tricky as the line feeds behind the steering rack locates in a couple of body mounted tabs then bends away again
so what's the best way to tackle this and leave a kink free line ?
Cheers !

cheat and do what I've seen some respected (ish) mini restorers do and run the fuel line under the subframe rather than behind it....
