UPDATE
Woke up to the sound of the courier smashing my front door in... 'twas my engine stand. Got it on eBay for £42 rated for 750LBS, should make for much easier re-assembly of the LET.
Thought I'd get a move on and make good use of the lovely sunshine. After a bit of breakfast I popped over to Le Garage. Pushed out the Nova and got it up in the air in order to sort out the copper fuel line. The plan was to take the existing feed line and swap it with the return and for the copper line to take the feed lines' place.
After some fiddling I removed both the lines:

I then got out the copper line. Seeing it coiled I thought 'hope this is enough' didn't realise how long it was, probably enough to do two lines. Then came the hard bit, getting it in shape of the old line. I masked the lines together and started to bend the copper line into shape, not 100% to shape but enough to give me an idea and roughly fit into place. Whilst fitting it I'd be able to fettle bits here and there to get it exact. I thought that was hard... the next bit was a right funking pain. Fitting the copper line back in. The worst bit was the part of the line that went into the bay. As the nylon lines were flexy they were dead easy to position and feed through the bottom of the chassis leg whereas the cooper one proved to be pain. I managed to go it fitted albeit slightly kinking it where it exits the bay and bends to run under the floor. I bent it back opposite way and got most of the kink out. There's still a slight kink but I doubt it'll have any effect as the copper pipe is 10mm (ID).
The next bit was dead easy, running it under the floor and fixing it in place. The plastic pipe clips were a big help and all that was needed was a slight bend here and there and it was done. A few pics:

Next up was to re-apply some underseal as I managed to take some off with some of the tools I was using I made sure I put on many coats of the stuff. As I had also removed the exhaust I gave the exhaust tunnel a good going over too.

There is a few cm's of copper line I need to trim in the bay as I left some just in case it was short. Need to pop over to my mate across the street and use his pipe cutter.
All in all a fairly productive day, just waiting for the angus steaks to cook on the BBQ mmmmm
