‘86 Carrera fuel line routing?

Anyone have a schematic or drawing of how the fuel lines are routed through the tunnel in an ‘86? 8 years ago when I took the car off the track and sent it out to have a proper cage put in, the idiot I’d hired to do the welding (and fired after the car sat partially completed at his shop for 6 months while he decided to go into another business and left 3 race cars stranded) pulled the fuel lines out with no wires, weed eater string or anything else to pull new lines through. So I have no idea how to route new lines through. Need to run lines this week before putting the engine in next weekend.

Car has been apart for 8 years, I’m soooo close to get the car done, and it’s little things like this that frustrate me..

Best I can come up with is another link showing the tunnel (courtesy of BoxsterGT).
One line each runs in their own metal conduit, one on the left and the other on the right within the tunnel. If you pull the pedal cluster and shifter I think you should be able to see with a mirror or cheap bore scope cam. Removal of the rear tunnel access is of course needed. You may be able to fish some wire in the conduit and then ultimately to the tunnel end holes.

There are also some metal tabs spot welded within the tunnel IIRC before and after the 'conduit' that are also used to retain any slack and I think to keep one line out of the way of the accel linakge. HTH

Okay- so I am going to replace my main tunnel fuel lines tomorrow. Any suggestions?
