Just been reading your rebuild of the Elite re: braided fuel lines from tank to engine and the fact that they're larger diameter than the original lines. I guess the openings need enlarging to cope. Can you tell me how many holes need enlarging and where are they positioned on the chassis. Thanks if you can help.

Thanks very much for the update. As I’m having fuel supply problems and replacing the Flowlock etc I thought I’d replace the lines with E10 braided. I assume this can all be done with engine/box/prop in place.
cheers, much appreciated

Hi Howard - happy to help and I hope it does!
I found that you need to remove the prop shaft and the diff has to come out or at least be dropped to do this - this is the cause of my pain and why I have walked away (added financial constraints haven't helped either!) I have got the diff back in (having replaced the diff output bearings and brakes etc) but now whenever I bolt up the drivers side drive shaft onto the inboard brake drum, the wheel seizes up - it has done my head in several times! I think it is all there in the thread but I'm pretty sure you will struggle to replace the fuel pipe with the prop in place - once unbolted from the diff (and the diff moved) the prop shaft just slides out of the gearbox - that was the easiest bit! Whereabouts are you in the UK (I assume!)
