1... Anyone in the Brisbane area want to share a roll of 5/16" bundy tube for fuel line? Only need 2 meters and all I can track down is 6 metre roll for "around $42" Looking for 2 others to share.

2... The fuel line under the car has a 3 sided rectangle half way along about 9" by 12" - Is that for any particular/essential reason?

If you guys have an ABS service center up there, they will allow you to purchase by the meter.

Yes it is - I provided most of the tube and fittings - they provided an extra 4 fittings and the 1.2 metres and double flared all the fittings on the precut tube and charged me $83. It wasn't till I got home and check the invoice that I realised what I was charged per item :evil:
