Andy,
I did have a short length of steel pipe come with the car which is shaped to come from the tank, under the brake pipe and alongside the rear leaf spring before feeding through chassis and terminating at that point. I have therefore connected a length of rubber fuel pipe and brought it forward to the engine bay. Maybe U.S.spec fuel pipe run was different to U.K?
When I say noise from the transmission tunnel, it is actually from the cast iron bell housing section so it could be clutch, carbon thrust plate or sliding tube. I have ordered a borescope which I hope to utilise on this issue.
Dave,
I have considered drilling a hole through the chassis in the bulkhead area but I am not keen on that idea. The reason being is that I am aware that on the TR range of +4's the chassis has been known to crack where it meets the crossmember at that point. My chassis is perfectly sound and I don't want to do anything which might weaken it.
Thanks to both of you for your advice.
Nev.
