Fuel line that runs through the tunnel

[Dark Earth]

I bought these line clamps

In 3/8" and 1/2".

I bought a nylon spacer in 3/8"

and 1/2" and drilled them out to 1/4".

Before slipping the fuel line over the trimmer line, I slipped the nylon spacers over the line.

Here they are installed front (1/2")

and rear (3/8")

I then clamped the fuel line in front, under the E-brake, to the clutch cable tube (1/2")

The clutch cable tube and e-brake cable tube are metric, so I shimmed those sides of the clamps with some metallic tape I had leftover from my home dryer ducting.

I installed the last clamp near the rear torsion tube.

I still have to weld up the hole-saw holes, but I don't have the welder yet.

I won't drive it until I get it welded up.

If I had the original type of middle and rear clamps, this job would have been much easier.

Still, I'm glad it's done.

I'm probably stealing all of this. Since no one has commented to the negative I assume this is a Samba approved approach.

Was your body off for this? I've read that makes this much easier.

I really liked the claps with nylon bushings. Do you have links to what/where you got those?

Edit, clamps are in the package... I should be able to find those. Sorry.

My 1973 Beetle has that "extra metal".

As does my 1969 chassis that I am using for my Deserter Dune Buggy.
