danwebster Posted April 21, 2013 Author Posted April 21, 2013 I've sent the take off plate back and have a front port take off coming instead, so that's now sorted. A little bit more progress this morning before coming in to watch the Grand Prix...I've fitted the fuel tank back in! Lifting it in to position... Done... Making sure I've got enough room to get my new fuel pipes in... That's an uprated fuel pump, I couldn't live with the thought of having to fit a secondary pump if the oem one couldn't do the business. Next job is to get the hard line bent to shape and fitted up. Also picked up a standard throttle body from eBay yesterday to strip all the sensors and throttle linkage off. Another big job out of the way.
Martin R Posted April 21, 2013 Posted April 21, 2013 Dan, which fuel pump have you gone for? I presume the level sender comes with it? Im also presuming this is compatable?
danwebster Posted April 21, 2013 Author Posted April 21, 2013 Eliseshop, comes with new style sender too so I have high hopes for actually knowing how much fuel I've got! Straight plug and play job, very easy to fit.
danwebster Posted April 21, 2013 Author Posted April 21, 2013 A little bit more progress now, flow and return are in as is the fuel filter, next job is the hard lines up the bulkhead. My next headache is the throttle cable....it's too short! Answers on a post card please!
danwebster Posted April 25, 2013 Author Posted April 25, 2013 Just been out for ten minutes before getting rained off and fitted a few of the clips i'm using to hold the hard line in place. They're 10mm pneumatic hose clips and do the job perfectly. This isn't a brilliant picture but i've fixed them under the 'shelf' that is created by moving the bulkhead back - the return will go along here too, hence a pair of clips. With the clips in the place and pipes and hoses tightened up, this is the end result. Tidy
R.I.B. Posted April 26, 2013 Posted April 26, 2013 Looking really smart Dan, everything looks shiny and immaculate!!! Would love a pax ride when it's all done
danwebster Posted April 26, 2013 Author Posted April 26, 2013 Any time Phil, i've never needed much encouragement to go out for a blast!

DeanB Posted April 26, 2013 Posted April 26, 2013 Dan you are bringing this car to Chatsworth so we can have a proper neb, aren't you? (please say yes) Dunno why the typeface went all funny then. Sorry it looks a bit shouty.
