Regular brass/copper tubing that you get from any motor factors mate :niceone:

I was going to use microbore copper pipe but opted for nylon tubing like this http://www.engineering-supplies.com/product/3263/30-metre-coil-8mm-od-6mm-id-350-psi-metric-flexible-nylon-tubing/

That looks good but I doubt you'll be able to bend it through as tight a radius as copper microbore? You could use some rubber fuel line for those tight bends but this would mean there would be a few more links in the chain and therefore fail/leak possibilities?

I know what you mean it won't hold shape itself so unless there are clips to hold it there could be a problem. I fitted this on my calibra and it actually reduced the rubber pipe links as I had a single piece from fuel filter all the way to the fuel rail inlet hose.
