Which fuel pipe is this? If its from the tank to the filter, its rubber, so it must be the filler pipe ????

got a few in the lock up, they are prone to rust due to location and build up of mud behind against the body

If you have a spare, if you don't sell it send it on and I'll get some stainless ones made.

Shouldn't be too hard should it?
The exhaust place I use should be able to spit them out.
Don't think I've ever had to replace one but I have seen plenty of rough ones.

FYI I have at the moment on at the machine shop, fog lamp brackets for GRP bumpers, laser cut stainless.
The syncro front bash plate thingy that a few people already have, the ally one.
WBX cylinder head tins - to be made in stainless.
