That's pretty much how mine are done and no probs for SVA or since. Make sure that you've accounted for any gearbox movement under
acceleration though.

Very similar to mine, although I've not gone through the test yet:

there are a lot of clips in there man, but do you have one clip holding both fuel lines running down the side of the footwell? im not sure if that is
allowed as the may rub against each other and chaif. i would use separate clips.

Thanks for the feedback guys.
Must remember to swap the tape for P clips. :-)
ADAM1985 - I read on here that its frowned upon.
So I spoke to the local SVA man about
2 parallel lines of copper running straight
up the floor and he said it was fine as long
as they were not rubbing against anything,
firmly attached and not in the path of any moving parts.
He even said sure arent the pipes attached to the floor pan of your tin top.
If you stand on the floor in the seat area
you can see the floor pan flex but from what I can see the section in the tunnel
area never moves.
Its where mines going.
Cheers
Steve

Looks ok to me, although very close to the gearbox which moves a lot more than you would expect on bumpy roads and under heavy acceleration.

The pic is probably not very clear. I'm using seperate clips, but some on a shared post. There is no way there can be metal to metal rubbing
together:

Not sure about that? There is only one clip attached to my floor though. Every other one is to the chassis
