Hello, I'm not a Cobra builder, but I have built two kits.
In my opinion, you would be better to fit a flow and return pipe to your carburetors for the following reasons.
1) there will be a continuous flow through the pipes so you will never suffer from vapour locking.
2)You carburettor will only take the amount of fuel you require so are unlikely to suffer flooding from over pressure.

If the thoughts of running two pipe with it's attendant clipping work is your reason, remember that one hole can support two clips.

If cost is a consideration, you can purchase a 10mtr roll of copper 8 or 10mm pipe from B&Q etc for not a lot of money.

It is worth purchasing the appropriate size olives for the pipe used and sweat one at the end of your hard pipe runs so that the rubber petrol hose has a good purchase when you tighten your hose clips.

Brian.
