Fuel Lines - LHS adjustment

I wasn't happy with the LHS pipe after I'd fixed it.

Firstly, I had riveted from the outside of the chassis. This meant there was a rivet "bulge" on the inside. I decided to drill out the rivets and rivet from the inside so the flat rivet head would be on the inside and so let the carpets lie flat (note the chassis is the other way up fro the previous photos):


I used a M4 washer to protect the P clip. Here is a close up:

Secondly, the pipe was very close (maybe touching) the edge of the aluminum panel as it transitioned from the under front floor panel to the lowered part of the chassis. Whilst I had removed the rivets I managed to bend out slightly to improve the clearance:
