Im in the middle of a Corsa XE conversion.

What do you recommend to do with the fuel lines? I think they need cutting down to resize them...is that what everyone else has done?

If i post a pic of the engine bay as it is, can you guys tell me where a few plugs and things go?

Thought as much.

Where did you resize them? In the engine bay or were they run the length of the car?

Also, the heater matrix pipes...did you find that one wasnt long enough? The one that goes into the NS of the cylinder head?

I went and bought some fuel line and cut the rubber bits off and replaced them with the new fuel line connecting everything with jubilee clips.

Do you mean that thick black rubber tubing - about 6-7 inches in length?
