[QUOTE="purpledog07, post: 639794, member: 22687"] I'll try to get some pics if it's helpful. The piece from the tank was not easy to manoeuvre into place. From memory, I partially bent it then completed the bend in-situ after getting it through the gearbox tinware grommet. For securing you could use "P" clips but didn't seem necessary to disturb the originals, they grip the pipe nicely with the hose to pack it out. The reason for the join at the tinware is because it is hard pipe. The pipe is secured at the engine as well as the tank bulkhead. The two move independantly so would stress and eventually fracture the pipe if there was no flexible join. If hose is used straight through it tends to wear away at the bulkhead so best to have a hard pipe through the grommet like original and use the right size, good quality clamps. * Make sure you tape or cap the pipe ends when fitting or you'll end up with ***** in your fuel/carbs.
