To see if I could find a fuel pipe, I had a look in the local scrappy for the R8 that was there a little while back but it's gone....

What about 214 being broken on ebay?

Failing that it's finding somebody who can copy that pipe :sad

Perhaps try an industrial hydraulic hose company like Pirtek to see if they can make one for you or an independent industrial pipe and hose making company.

could possibly save another *laughs*, looked at this at the weekend and agreed a value, bit of lacquer peel and a few distasteful mods could become a nice example
