yes, a 1.2 carb nova has 2 fuel lines. replace them with 8mm copper pipe. you can get a bulk roll from any decent diy store. then use high pressure rubber hose to connect the pump, and the injector rail etc.

where do the pipes go into then just to confirm it has 2 fuel lines?

look underneath on the rhs of the floor, the 2 fuel lines will be there. 1.2 carb novas have them as std... then its just a case of following them back to the tank

it would probably do the job, but as it is flexible, it should only be used on the ends of a more rigid pipe running the length of the floor panel. do not use it for the full run to the engine, or it will sag down & get caught on something

agreed unless he runs some extra clips, could add some p clips to help hold it up

then the rivets/screws push the carpet up...

what fuel pipe would be best to run a x16xe would the standerd rubber pipe do or should i uprate it?

uprate the supply. return should be fine.

idealy change them both for fuel hose suitable for injection as the original stuff will be hard and crack easily.
