It's amazing what can be done in a lunch break if the kids aren't at home!
Fuel lines installation - I was hoping to use a combined sender and high pressure in-tank fuel pump but as the tank that came with the car (alu) is only 170mm deep and the sender is at one side so is not positioned over the deepest part....and...and...
Using the solid state Facet low pressure fuel pump that was one of the few decent things to remain on the car (everything else of value was stripped off prior to sale
), I am figuring thought the system with a swirl pot, high pressure (45psi/3 bar) internal pump and adjustable Sytec pressure regulator. In my particular setup I have made a conscious decision to locate all the fuel system components in the rear of the car; the theory being that all the flammable fluids and gasses will be as far away as possible from the hot and electrical bits at the front. Additionally, it keeps the engine bay a little bit less cluttered. Naturally, everything is connected up with E85/ethanol proof Gates Barricade fuel hose.

With 10-minutes to spare before my post-lunch video meetings; I mocked up and measured the rear wheel arches to get a quote for a new set that are wider (to accommodate the wider wheels), have louvres in like the fronts and matching the engine bay sides, plus a new lower profile lighting pod for LEDs.
