1/2'' fuel line routing

Hiya,
I'm wanting to run 1/2'' supply/return fuel lines to my 68 it has torque boxes and frame connectors, so not really an option to put where original fuel was. As I'll be coming from a trunk mounted fuel cell, I was thinking bulk head connectors just forward of the upper rear shock brace and crossing over to the inner side of the passengers frame connector and running up to where the original line cuts through the torsion bar frame. This is where I'm a little hesitant cause I'll have to cut through this frame and I'm thinking of wedding support rings around these holes, I think it should not be a problem as it is on the outer side of the TB frame, ideas??.
Has any one got pictures of 1/2'' fuel line route on a second gen.

Photos would help visualize.

I've been pondering this myself, but i have a regular fuel tank so I'm not crossing over the frame. My frame connectors have a cutaway in the forward section so I have access to a pre-existing hole in the torsion bar support. If I can't snake a pre-bent pipe section through there with rubber grommets I'll use double flare connectors.

Remember were your old gas line was rooted and mounted that's were I have my 1/2" line now, just replace the mounting hardwere. It also makes it easyer if your using a braided flex line too.
Will try to get some pics.

correct -6, when you or if you order clips you will need different clip for hose and pipe as outside diameters are different sizes

thanks Mr tan top,yeah  a bit of heat shrink works wonders...you got good sharp eyes   :cheers:
