Hmmm. It's a good idea, but I don't think that's it. On Spit 1500's with
twin SU's, the fuel line is routed _behind_ the engine through a 90 degree
bracket with _two_ large holes. One of the holes is used for attaching it
to a head stud, the other holds the grommet. I don't have that bracket
(some DPO must've lost it), but I've seen it on other Spits and I'm pretty
sure the one I found isn't it.
Thanks for your answer anyway, Joe. It reminded me I must find/make a
replacement for that missing fuel line bracket.
