Fuel Line Relocation Kit -- Live and Taking Orders!
What would you guys be willing to pay for a "budget" fuel line relocation kit. I know that Speed Inc sells or sold a kit made from -AN and braided lines, but that's pretty costly at about $150+ IIRC.
At my job, I have access to OEM style/quality nylon line and very high quality quick connects. These wouldn't look 100% factory but would look as close as possible to it. they would eliminate the need for fuel line disconnect tools as the quick connects have a push lock on them that works very well. The lines would be clamped to the connectors, using pinch clamps like you see on CV Boots.
I'm going to be doing this to my car just to clean up the big loop of hose i have under the fender well. Best part is these connectors are low profile so you really wouldn't have any bulky fittings to wrangle around, and they're straight so doing the relocate there's no odd bends or curves going into the fuel rail lines. I'm estimating a $75 shipped cost per kit, and it would very simply be a plug and play affair, with OEM sized 3/8 and 5/16 lines.
Here's an example of what the fitting would look like

So would this be something you guys would be interested in?
*EDIT*
Pre-Orders will ship out on Wednesday the 15th.
My website is live and ready to order these now!

You know I was just looking up a fuel line relocation kit this morning, but SpeedInc. doesn't seem to have the LT1 kit anymore. I'm curious to see what this would look like after installation (the final product). Get some pics when you do it, I might be interested soon.

Sean I think this would sell pretty good. It's a pretty small market but you could sell enough to pay for your time.

Ok, because my cash flow is so tight, I'm going to do a pre-order at a discounted price. That discounted price will be $70 shipped, after that we're looking more like $85-90 shipped because parts aren't cheap. That said, to get this off the ground, I'm going to do 5 x pre-orders. As soon as we have 5 takers, I'll accept payment, order parts, and get your kits out. I think you all know that I'm legit and not gonna screw anyone. Respond if you want to go ahead and get your name in on the pre-order, and I'm going to update the first post with the initial list. If there's enough interest, I'll buck the pre-order from 5 to 10.
