I have heard of people replacing those plastic "rails" with billet
aluminum ones.  I was thinking of doing this on mine when I replaced the
fuel lines, but by the time all the fittings were accounted for it did
not really seem to be worth the expense.  Though I do have a little bit
of worry about those plastic rails, since plastic has a tendency to get
brittle with age.
