New Product - JP3 underbody fuel line cover

The FD RX7 came with a louvered plastic underbody fuel line cover - functional to a certain degree on an unmodified car. Over the years, this part may have either been damaged, modified, or perhaps lost. In some cases, owners may have upgraded to larger fuel lines and found that the OEM part was not able to fit over the larger lines.

Our solution addresses this! This underbody fuel line cover is made from 12ga (2mm thick) aluminum that has been CNC laser cut and bent. The thickness provides added protection for the OEM hardlines and aftermarket fuel lines. There is both added width and depth to allow for larger lines (line larger than 8AN may require thicker mounting spacers which are not included). The fuel line cover has cut outs for venting/draining water which may be bent by the enduser for more airflow if needed.

The underbody fuel line cover is designed as a cover - any lines must be secured to the chassis before installing it.

We tried to keep the profile as tucked to the body as possible. If your car is lowered significantly, you may still scrape - damaging the cover.

To keep the pricepoint, the cover is only available in a raw manufactured finished. What does this mean - it will have bending marks, scuffs and scratches from the manufacturing process.

  • CNC laser cut & bent 12ga (2mm) aluminum (comes only in RAW finish which may have manufacturing scuffs and scratches)
  • Stainless low-profile hardware
  • Aluminum spacers

Thanks. We've had several customers install on their cars with 8AN braided lines with great success

another amazing fix/upgrade from JP3.

i have loved my shorty throttle cable as much as i hated the long looping cable. it works perfectly.

likewise i hated zip tying my fuseblock to the inner fender. problem solved with the JP3 support bracket

next up, the trick fuel line covers... thanks JP3.
