I thought it was allowed in racing, I saw it done on a couple of my mates rally cars..

[Luke]

not sure about rallying - ive built a few autograss cars and i seem to remember that being a rule

i just dont like the idea - when you get a leak especially with a pumped line

[rob hall]

Right the f###ing starter still wont turn the engine , but when I took the plugs out it turns the engine fine! Grrrrr this is doing my head in!

[Luke]

thats strange - it maybe that taking the plugs out just makes it easy enough to turn and isnt actually the problem

is the starter definatly in the right position can you loosen the starter bolts and pack it out a bit with some shims then tighten back up and try it - or even bolt it up on 1 bot but move it out a bit to make sure its lined up right

[rob hall]

Ok luke ,will give that a go tomorrow

[Luke]

post some pics up of it mate - might help somone spot something

Mornin
Rob was right about fuel lines being run through the 'cabin area' on rally cars. Was usually Mini's because they were so low. Rules said a bulkhead between fuel lines and pax, so we used to run a tube through (sometimes an 'hydrolastic' tube, but they were v awkward because they were pre shaped ), but often a just some steel tube & a plastic line inside that.
Have fun
