    well I'm running stainless hard line, so through the tubes won't work. Dave you're saying weld brackets on? that's an idea, hadn't thought of that.

    Yup, that's how I do it Dago--takes a bit more time but makes for a much better install...Also, mount the fuel line so that it is above the frame rail, as Jerry mentioned, sure beats ripping them off the bottom of the car!

    Why not two adel clamps at each point, one sized to go around the cage, and the second sized for the line held with a common bolt? Done that way in airplanes to position hoses and flexible lines around the accessory section. I don't like drilling holes in the tube.
