Clearance Problems with new Fuel Rail

I've looked around for similar stories and I haven't found any.

I'm installing a fuel kit from rx7 store, and I'm not able to connect the short primary fuel hose banjo bolt to the secondary fuel rail. The new rail places this connection higher than usual, and it's interfering with the vacuum hard pipe bundle. Has anyone ever had this problem before? I know that I *could* replace the hard pipe bundle, but this is supposed to be "bolt-on" I thought.

Thanks all!

The after maket rails are for cars that have removed the hard pipe bundle and most all the other sequential controls . I have not seen the kit you have so I do not know what you have but all the ones I seen , put in , will not fit a stock sequential set up .

I had to move, or adjust, the "hard pipe bundle" to install the banjo bolt in my aftermarket rail. Hell, it was damn near impossible to not cross thread, while re-installing, the banjo bolt in the stock rail due to the "bundle".

I didn't know that the rails work with the sequential set up only. Good to know, thank you. I'll find a way to make it work on my car.
