Default Type R Fuel system upgrade?

HI All,

I am in the process of restoring my V5 Type R and would like to give the fuel system an upgrade as it has some leaks at the moment, I am thinking about converting the feeds from the top of the tank/pump plate to an6 then new lines all the way to the engine bay. I have a fuel lab filter etc from there on.
Has anyone done this and have any idea of what will be needed for this? I really need to get educated on this so i can get the correct items.

Thanks in advance for the knowledge you all have.

If you want to upgrade the full lot then I would go teflon braided hoses, AN6 fittings, fuel rails converted to use AN fittings and fuel pressure regulator. All depends how you want the lines to run, could use 90 degree AN fittings on tbe fuel rails and same on top of the fuel pump cradle.

I have everything needed in the engine bay, but needing to replace and upgrade everything else from the pump back, I don't like the pipe routing under the car then in under the seat. Any ideas?
