They do seem to have everything required Quick question, would it be possible to weld these onto the fuel rail for direct fitting? ________________________________________ Team 'unintentional rat look' |

probably possible, although just buy the "hose finishers" then you can clamp the braided hose down to the standard fuel rail.you will want -6 pipework and fittings which is 5/16 pipe.  ________________________________________ 230 hp 2.1 16v XU 205 rallye on jenveys Project thread here309 3dr K20 Type R |

For -6 for both? -8 works out as 11mm ID, would that be too large?________________________________________ Team 'unintentional rat look' |

yes you can weld straight on the fuel rail, i have done the exact same thing, see my build threadbut as ash says, -6 is all you need www.torques.co.uk is run by my mate, mention my name PRE order and you get some kind of discount ________________________________________ Do you need a 205 > 306 gti6 plug and go engine loom?

Ok cheers spikey!So I would only need -6 if using the weld-on fittings? I assume the -6 wouldn't stretch over the 10mm outlet on fuel rail, that's why I asked about -8? ________________________________________ Team 'unintentional rat look' |

I've used -8 in my car for the fuel feed and it's overkill to say the least. As suggested go for -6, use Teflon lined if your running it through the car. The best way to do it is weld the fittings to the rail like spikys done. I don't think you can use the Teflon lined hose on barbed fittings, you'll certainly not get -6 Teflon onto the 10mm fuel rail. Rubber -6 hose may well stretch over it but it'd be a bit of a Bodge really. ________________________________________ www.bridgecraftmotorsport.co.uk |

Use 312 stainless TIG rod if you don't want to risk a crack, the rail is mild steel and has a different shrinkage rate to stainless  Also if you intend to use the fittings you linked to, grind some flats on the body so you can support the fitting with a spanner when you tighten up your fuel lines, otherwise you will twist the steel pipe and break it. ________________________________________ R H Davey Welding Supplies.

Good thinking In your opinion would the stainless steel or aluminium fitting be better? (I won't be doing the welding by the way) The aluminium fitting is hex shaped so would save grinding it down. ________________________________________ Team 'unintentional rat look' |

You cannot weld aluminium to steel, you can however buy the correct weld on fittings in mild steel. Ask mr torques or search for -6 weld on fittings on ebazzle or google.________________________________________ www.bridgecraftmotorsport.co.uk |

Actually you can  but in this case it would be entirely unsuitable to weld ally to steel, stainless to mild is fine, just buy the stainless weld on fitting you linked to and use the correct dissimmilar weld filler (312) i would'nt reccommend trying to MIG weld it as you will struggle like hell to stop it from leaking. I've done this job myself and its a piece of cake with a little TIG welder.
