Yes the MK2.5 uses a 1 tube supply and return. Early models have 2 tubes engine to tank. So, are the send & return pipes connected at the tank end by a T-connector, as in the link below, and then just the one pipe to the rail? Does the filter fit in to the send pipe before the T-connector? D'oh, further realised I'd run 3 x 8mm pipes front to rear, so even the brake pipe is wrong as is should be 5mm! link |

link is good.. The filter is after T before rail..Yes have to change brake tube.. That is no mountain for a climber keep climbing..

So where would this fit into the scheme of things?  easy image hostingNot so much a job for a climber, more a pot-holer getting under this thing!! Really don't want to have to lift the chassis off AGAIN. |

That said, caliper measurement of the fuel pipes shows only 6.3mm despite 8mm having been ordered. Might this be a problem, and cause fuel starvation, or is there some tolerance? |

The pic is the number 1 Pulsation Damper. The number 2 unit is at the fuel rail..I would run without it..
It is for smoothing out fuel flow pulsars..
Is the 6.3mm the outside or inside measurement..
Copper tubing is a whole game of its own.. It depends what it is designed to be used for.. And where and at what PSI.. USA and UK standards of size.. On smaller tube the inside will be 1/8" smaller then outside dimension.
If the 6.3mm is the inside it sounds right. 8mm outside with 6.3 inside makes wall thickness total 1.7.. Divided by 2 for the for the walls is .85 walls..

Divided by 2 for the for the walls is .85 walls.. 6.3mm ED. Checked my order, and it was for 8mm, but the packaging on the pipe I received was for 1/4"-6.35mm with a wall thickness of .028"-0.71mm and to 1334 PSI-92BAR. Ordered back in May, so I doubt they will change it, but I'll complain anyway. Guess I never checked, and so went ahead and installed and made myself an unwanted problem. Such is life! I'll ditch the #1 PD and presume this is #2 ?  |

Offered up the brake & clutch pedal assemblies, but having problems getting the steering column to engage. Double-checked the manual that the spacers remain on the driver's side of the firewall, but the spline of the steering wheel column is short of the rack & pinion UJ end by about the thickness of the spacers. Read from a previous answer by gwnwar that the measurement for the length of the column is between 0.593 - 0.595, so will measure tomorrow in case it has "shrunk". However, the asymmetric mounting bracket on the column reaches the brake assembly plate on the right, but is short of the clutch assembly plate on the left (marked A below). So, do I need to slice off the spacers on (just) the brake plate so both brackets reach, or will that make for an unacceptable height difference on the pedals??
