what a nightmare job this is turning into, but done just in time.....when i cut through the pressure and return pipes under the fuel tank, it took hardly any movement before the pipes broke off at the saddle/pipe clip just above the torsion tube (the inaccessible clip)
i then cut thro the pipes where they turn at 45deg under the floor

my intention was to get some hoses made up to run from there back to the tank area....has anyone been able to do this without dropping the torsion tube...i just don't think there's enough room for fittings to pass over the torsion tube.
i could just run the hoses under the torsion tube, but they'd be vulnerable...??
i'm now thinking of getting some 3/8" o/d and 5/16" o/d (if they're available) cupro-nickel tube to basically replace the corroded steel section i removed....any help/ideas gratefully rec'd
i also made the mistake of cutting thro the hose where the fuel return pipe joins onto....the hose that disappears upwards somewhere??.....is that hose either of these
