[Healeys] Healey 100 fuel line question

[Craig and Sue Rice]

Josef,
I just measured the length of two unmodified 0.3125 inch diameter copper
inlet pipes at the first banjo fitting. Both measured 14.438 inches,
including 0.313 inches inserted into the banjo fitting. My original Workshop
Manual, page D18, fig 21 shows the right side of engine & fuel pipe is not
visible.
The pipe is secured to engine front mounting plate using a "P" clamp
attached to the lower nut/bolt holding the engine mount assembly. This
nut/bolt is illustrated in the original Workshop Manual, page D17, figure
18.
