- Hmmm. It's a good idea, but I don't think that's it. On Spit 1500's with twin SU's, the fuel line is routed _behind_ the engine through a 90 degree bracket with _two_ large holes. One of the holes is

- Non-silicone brake fluif eats paint. If you put some brake fluif on a painted area and the paint doesn't react, it's silicone. It's a bit of a kludge, but it works. Eric -- '57 TR3A TS23315L '76 Spit
