Seriously it depends on your build, if you have the fuel pump in the rear or in the redundant wheel well on the trigear. Where is the fuel pressure and flow gauges etc. There are many fuel tolerant hoses available and those in modern vehicles are ethanol tolerant as well as fire retardant.

He said it's OK to make things a little stronger, but if yo make things "TOO" strong, instead of bending the bolt (EZ to replace) you can trash the aft fuse. You can see my resolution on page #1: http://www.europaowners.org/main.php?g2_itemId=27732 Note: If you replace the recommended factory cable adjusters with turn-buckles, you can easily defeat that simple solution and shoot yourself in the foot. See page #2 of above link. If you pull rudder pedals just slightly forward with turn-buckles installed, the cable can easily twist and jam that side shorter. For a Mono especially, that could be a real bad thing. Some shrink wrap can easily fix that potential problem. Ron P.
