I heard that the firewall nipple can break easily
becouse its old hardened VW plastic. So, if you use
your plan, you wont be missing/needing the nipple
piece anyways. If you remove the nipple, could'nt you
run the long fuel injection grade hose through where
the plastic nipple firewall USED to be? Running it
over the engine sounds safer.

Cheers,
Phil 84' Westy
