Running pipes & cables inside the cab,
Turbo Mini Forums

I've removed the tabs off the underside of my mini to reduce the chance of rust & to move the fuel/battery/brake lines inside to protect them & keep them clean.

Just want to see where they enter & exit, how they are secured and what pipes you've used.

Cheers!

rubber lined 'P' clips

Yes i moved to the darkside

I use braided fuel ines, as MSA regs and normal brake pipe.

For a road car I trnd to keep everythong out side as it's much easier and stopps people standing on stuff. the race car has it all inside. this is a good idea in rally cars, but for hillclimbing I think it's more to look the part than anything else!

Fastest 998 mini in the world? 13.05 1/4 mile 106mph

I removed those tabs too. I kept all the fuel lines and bettery cable on the underside, and run the brake line on the inside, since thats the one that is held by tabs on the later cars. The fuel lines use plastic clips anyway.

If you do run the fuel lines internally, make sure you get Teflon hose as it stops the fumes unlike the normal braided stuff.

Cheers for the pointers!

Anyone got any photos?

Going back to this again.

Shell is back from paint so running these lines is something I need to do first.

Can someone provide a link to the correct fuel pipe? unsure of the required diameter.

Thanks.

I'm using these clips for brake and fuel lines:

The fuel is going in this stuff:

Standard copper for the brake lines.

Double checking before buying, this would be alright yeah?

That's rubber low pressure hose!

The rubber will 'breathe' fuel vapours, teflon or ptfe lined is what you shoud be looking for, or the car will always stink of fuel. The low pressure hose bit might be ok, but for the extra saft margin, the high pressure fuel injection hose will be better

Oh apologies, wrong link, they also sell a high pressure hose as well!

I'll have another look round.

Yeah yeah?

I hate to keep nagging, but can anyone in the know confirm the above Ebay link is the right stuff for the job?

it says it PTFE (teflon), unless someone's actually bought and used that specific item from ebay, you can only go from the description.

one day boost will be mine!

Very true! Looks and reads to be up to the job so I'll give it a go, cheers.

That seller is a top bloke i have lots of bits off him in the past.

As for that hose you will need to buy His fittings as they are the only ones that work with that hose.
