Not sure I'm following, Chuck. Not sure if your concern is something interfering with my right knee or more so with the fact I'm bring fuel into the interior of the car...?? Anywho, CobraPack suggested I use a brided brake line with -4 AN swivel ends, which I thought was a brilliant idea. A 14" flexible braided stainless line can be had for ($11). This is connected to a -4 AN to 1/8 NPT female adaptor on the gauge side, and a -4 AN 45 degree bulkhead fitting that will be on the dash side. I'll then run a line from the bulkhead fitting in the engine compartment to the comp fuel log. All this stuff was purchased from Jegs..

Here are some pics of the fuel gauge and location I plan on for the dash.





BTW, Chuck, good to have you in the thread. I'm really interested in the direction you are going with your car. My next one will be an adaptation of ERA's slab come comp car....they should probably put some effort into creating some molds for Jones Flares and front Spats, IMHO. I could see that area growing..

- Allen.
