Did you use a sleeve on the inside of the hard plastic pipe (like no#5 above)? I'd be concerned it would deform when the rubber hose was put on and tightened causing a leak.

Yes they have a metal lining - I only tighten with a screw driver as not to over toque .  The black part is the same but of a mk2 swirl pot I have spare im experimenting on - bottom picture you can see the black pipe I cut off the mushroom and that is the pipe.

I took off again for a good picture - it has sleeve so your good to go.  The last picture shows the line other side of filter which you can still buy for 50 euro so im just putting a new line on there- but yes you could just replicate what i have done the other side with a short cut off codan hose 7.3 mm. .

Good stuff, I may do that for completeness before sale. The filter to bay hose has already been replaced with new genuine. 👍

Good stuff mate - it was well crusty the old one- could see micro cracks and that hard think I could of broke it- you might as well do it as i dealt you will sell your car when the time comes  lol . Will be doing the vr one to as that is very crusty. 

Ive just notice as well I need to go back to  it tomorrow as the white clip has snapped and i need to twist the hose- last owner got the rear brake lines done- shite ones and looks like they snapped it to get the brake line into position.

Another little fuelling project I’m working on for the KR -  Pro Alloy big fan of my first experience of thier goods - stressfull been shipping things from all over Europe Mainly the housing buffers - bloody rip odd for the little bits.  

I also got myself some intank fuel line which is differnt then R9 and I believe is known as R10- R9 will melt in tank.

Looking lovely. As you know I am doing the same job on my mk2 16v too but sans the pro alloy housing. Thanks for getting me the clips, they look good 😄

Pro Alloy housing is a great bit of kit but too rich for my pockets today.
