Yep, I did stand back and think why not just make some tabs, plug weld them and heat some shrink fit elec hose. Simples. Job done. But I've got it in my head that I want some nice new p clips on some nice new pipework and I want to do it in a way that will have the least chance of rusting or leaking. I'm afraid I canna turn once I start something until I finish it or can go no further. Some folk would call me stubborn!

Also there was no tabs on the floor pans I used.

Well, those are very good reasons! It is nice to have things looking neat and tidy, even if it does take slightly more work. Most of us don't care, to that level of detail at least, but that should never stop anyone who does.

I have these pics saved in my inspiration folder lol - they have brake and fuel lines...

Wow, I'm in someone's inspiration folder!
I'm genuinely flattered.

Skoighi. I used stainless P clips with plated M5 nuts and bolts. Most of the P clips are fitted to the sides of the channels which positioned the nuts inside the channels and below the level of the carpets.

This is one fit looking under side! I want one!!!!!

Why not weld the studs in place at least that way you will not struggle with doing anything up.



Whatever you do do not use tucker pop or any other type of aluminium rivet, they will corrode and ruin your floor.

Hi was thinking about welding them on, the holes for them have been drilled so I can put them through from the inside with a couple of tacks. The reason I was thinking to fix them in with a lock nut was in case the set screws get damaged then they can be easily replaced. Maybe Im thinking about this too much, maybe I need to get out more!!

Providing you use a decent quality bolt then you should be fine. make sure if you do go the welded route then use a clad type bolt plus a drop of copperslip.

Hi,

 

just sorting out my piping and was wondering what is the left pipe with no attachments for?

 

Thanks!

[MacGyver]

Which left?
In the first pic: back brakes on the left and petrol on the right. (picture orientation)
