CA18DET into KE70 dilemma

[foamy]

Hey guys,
Halfway through my CA18DET into KE70 conversion. Finished off the gearbox mount (was out of an AE86 running the same setup, but I had to widen it a little bit for the wider trans tunnel). Have noticed that the gearbox sits up against the fuel lines. It's firmly up against them.
Anyways, I want to have it engineered and registered which rules out just cutting them and running fuel hose. My question is before I start moving / remaking the lines, is it even a big problem? A mate who has done the same conversion found the same thing (I would say we are both using the same custom engine mounts). He ended up making all new lines (went bigger cos he was chasing big power) to get around it.

I'm undecided as to if it could be a series problem or not..has anybody else here come across this issue and what did you do to fix it?

Just trying to visualize this in my head but if you were to space down where the mount attaches to the body with some washers or something a bitmore sophisticated that would lower the gear box enough to clear the lines hopefully

It's more that to fix it I would either need to change the engine mounts to face the gearbox more to the centre (the engine is mounted in straight, maybe the tunnel is offset to one side or something? The gearbox lines right up with the diff which is a good sign), or re-route the fuel lines.
Because a large section of the box is touching the lines, I can't get away with a spacer because it will still foul...

then you should consider re-routing lines, even if it doesn't happen, the thought of a gearbox constantly rub, rub, rubbing against those fuel lines doesn't sound very safe
