fitting neck of the fuel pipe

hi all

is there a preferred sequence for fitting the moulded ruber concertina neck to the fuel pipe inside the front wing

is it better to fit it to the wing before ataching the wing or is it posible to fit up onto the wing after the wings been fixed on to the car

thanks

If I have had the front wing off, I have always fitted it to the inner wing first, then fit the wing and then fit it to the wing and then install the fixing ring.

Thats just the way I normally do it.

I always fit it after the wing is fitted!

alan, nick

the car is in the paint shop and only today realised I have this situation to sort out,
fingers crossed I go to see it finished this weekend, so rather than disrupt things, now I know its possible to install after, (ala nick) then that's easiest for me

much appreciate the advice

To be honest, it's a pretty easy job and I am sure it will not cause you any issues.

Cheers

Just make sure you use pleanty of lubricant. Washing up liquid does fine for me. Any pics of the paint yet?
