Year is not too important as long as the engine is strong and the chassis is in decent nick - the body parts will end up getting scrapped to make way for the Murtaya bodyshell, unless I buy a house when I'll look for a V4/V5 to turn into a track toy:wonder:

I trial fitted a spare seat I had to see if the rail was any good but it seems a little high especially when helmet is on so may go down the route of ordering from custom cages the passenger side seat bars and get them welded in .

Need to locate some carbon fibre to make surround for gear gaitor easy task really and should finish off quite nice
|
Nice thread and very nice car. Thanks for showing the swirl pot installation as I am looking into doing one myself soon doing upgrades to my road car. Just one thing I am puzzled by would it not have been better to have the filter between the swirl pot and the pump. I know there is the filter on the in tank pump to stop the crap from the tank but anything getting into the swirl pot could F your Bosch 044 pump. With the wiring for the fuel pumps are both pumps running off the relay or just the Bosch?
Cheers Steve |
Understand what your saying about filter but if needs be I could always filter into Bosch 044 from swirl pot .
The wiring for the Bosch is on a switched relay so is separate from ignition, ignition 1 ignition 2 then sep switch for high pressure pump |
Sourced a sheet of A4 size real carbon fiber to make gear surround wasnt that expensive just less than £20 delivered.
|
Do you have a picture of the pipe connections on top of the tank please. I am looking at ordering the swirl pot, pump, lines and fittings this weekend so just want an idea of what I will need. I have seen a 2.5 ltr swirl pot that comes with the AN-6 fittings, so would just need to order the piping and connections. If you could list the connectors you used it would be much appreciated.
Thanks Steve. |
Dont know if ive missed it but how did you make your door cards? Also what have you done with the electric window switches?
|
Have been trying to work out how you did the feed pipe from the tank to the swirl pot. Thankfully the light just came on, LOL, I take it you connected the 180 degree union to the push on AN6 rather than bending the hard pipe. You then used a hard pipe to AN6 with a 90 degree union on the return pipe. Am I right??
|
This fuel system stuff is expensive £450 spent.
|
Alex from torque supplied mine Teflon braided and fitting best part of £900 for everything
|
Yes mate correct
|
Had the 25mm rear whiteline ARB sprayed in silver and lacquered looks brand new big thanks to Dave for all your hard work yet again
Pics up later |
