If you have a new t piece then it would be easier for you, I usually cut those crimped clamps across the top with a good pair of cutters/pliers, and the length of the pipes is not a problem, they are just to return excess fuel from the injectors, and it will not need to be primed after you have changed the pipes as it's not part of the fuel supply, just get the old ones off best you can and fit new ones and job done.

Hi Everyone
It's been a while since I started this post but I'm glad to report that after changing the leak off pipe and replacing the fuel flame plug (just because it was really easy to do) the transit is now starting reasonably well. It takes approx 2-3 seconds to fire now as opposed to 20 seconds plus or not at all before. So I'm putting the problem down to the leak off pipe being very old and perished and letting air in. Hope this helps anyone with a similar problem. Thanks to everyone for their advice.
