Coyote flexible fuel lines and pressure regulator location questions

Also mounted mine on the 2x2 tube. Actually quite a bit of room behind the engine. Visible in this picture early in the build. As far as the fuel lines, for the Roadster it's not necessary to run them inside the trans tunnel so I would recommend against it. I ran mine on the outside of the 4-inch round tube as high as I could. Pretty straight shot from back to front. I personally prefer and have installed hard lines with SS flex at each end. But the plastic flexible lines are OK too I guess. What most DD's use.

Thank you, Paul. That picture really helped me see how much room I'll have to work with.

Hey Paul - I have a question regarding how you mounted the clips that hold the brake and fuel lines. Your build thread shows that you used 10-32 fasteners into tapped holes in the frame, so I assumed this was to be able to remove lines later on if ever necessary. But, it looks like the clips that hold the rear brake line in the DS footbox are riveted, and that section of line is buried under Lizard skin, seemingly making that line a pretty permanent installation. Is the reason for the 10-32 fasteners vs. stainless steel rivets for all the clips mostly aesthetic? I'm always worried about fasteners coming loose years down the road, even with blue Loctite (I think that comes from riding single-cylinder motorcycles that eventually rattle EVERYTHING loose over time) so rivets would seem like a simple way to ensure those lines stay where they're supposed to stay.

Thanks,
John
