You might want to re-think that fuel line layout. Fuel lines just don't belong in the cabin, even with the braided stainless. You will find this won't play in many clubs (maybe all clubs).
Routing through the center tunnel is a much safer way to go.

Chuck, I did check on the routing of the fuel lines before running them and they are fine. In fact, I picked this up from several dedicated cars out here on the East Coast. I've seen hard lines running through the passenger seat space in a suspended format, fuel lines strapped to the right side cage running roof height, and many other designs; I liked this one best. I was going to run through the tunnel and still inside up the back through the fire wall, but I liked the idea (in a crash scenario) of having it out of the way of the shifter mechanism and all the sharp "bridge" reinforcement edges in the tunnel. Have you ever looked in there? It's ugly. I also like the idea of being able to visually inspect every inch of hose.
Lastly, a dedicated fire suppression system is in the works for the cockpit and having the lines open to the system versus closed just makes much more sense to me.
