Full Blown New Fuel Lines


So recently I upgraded to a full blown double pumper and -8 supply lines and -6 return. I removed the sock lines and supporting brackets. I’ve got a nice solution for the fule lines but I now need to support the brake lines in that area. For anyone else who has done this mod what have you done to support the brake lines. Any mounting hardware you suggest?

No, it's really not even possible because of the width and small diameter

one of my buddies had suggested this to me and as i learn more and more each day i have more questions to to go with it, but as for the -8an supply line and -6an return line, these are the lines that run from the fuel pump, under the car, into the firewall and not to sound like a retard, one plugs up into one side of the fuel rail and the other line plugs into the otherside of the fuel rail??? if i'm right how expensive is something like that?

I think I have about 200-1250 in lines clips fittings. As far as a rail you'll want an nice one I went aeromotive. I like it allot. the HKS or FIC I think are also on par. Now I still need to get something for the two brake line, but I can’t see that being expensive.

You can go to almost any hardware store and buy the clips that are used to hold conduit, pvc pipe, whatever, use a self tapping screw and screw them into the frame. You could use a simple strip piece of sheetmetal long enough to sit across all the lines and then use screws to secure it too. To keep from pinching anything use washers or some spacer and longer screws.

I'd be worried about the hardware rusting.

These are a little steep for brackets, but would look pretty trick.

Where the hard line runs through the bracket, I'd just cut a 6mm length of vacuum line so it holds it firmly since the brake line is smaller than a plug wire. Prob worth giving them a call to see if they have any other options.
