    fuel line mounting

    How do most of you mount your oversized fuel lines? I don't know what size is on my car off the top of my head, but I did purchase clamps for it awhile ago. I just dont want to screw a bunch of holes in my car. Any better options?

    Granted there would still be holes, however you could use rivets. At least that way they are clean when removed.

    Weld the bolts to the frame/body and use that as a stud would be an option if you dont want to drill holes. I just drill a small pilot and screw in a self tapper call it good. If its a show car you can order fancy colored or polished alum clamps that hold single or multiple hoses

    I don't want to run self taping screws if I don't have to. It'll be a full interior car and font want them poking up

    fasten the lines to the frame rail, not the floor.

    The cleanest way I can think to do it. Thinking of the inside and the outside would be to drill a hole, use a stud with a flat head for the inside of the car and then a locking nut to hold the clamp on.
