Re: fuel line heat shielding?

If the line is running inside the passenger side frame rail I'd cut a heat shield out of aluminum that fit in the frame much like you would set a boxing plate in but have some tabs to fasten it in. Plus there are wraps as Jesse Z suggested. or maybe a combination.

Main thing is to keep the direct radiant heat off the fuel line.

77 C 30 dualie, 454, 4 speed with a 10 foot flatbed and hoist. It does the heavy work and hauls the projects around.
