Update end Jan 2020

Fuel Pipes

Figured out what I needed to build the fuel line for the twin carb system. The metal pipework was fitted through the tunnel earlier in the build (see 28th Feb 2019 update). 

My drawing for the fuel system.

Fitted the petrol pump and filter and did a trial test of the fuel tank which required some adjustment to the aperture in the body.

Fuel lines and ancillaries

The top two pipes link the remote brake fluid reservoir to the master cylinder. Used a couple of clips I had left over from the oil cooler pipework to fix in place

Air intake for oil cooler

I sourced a vent from a kitchen supplier to allow for air flow into the oil cooler. Cheap fix!

Understanding and labelling the base wiring loom

I took some photos and labelled up the wiring, working from the back of the car. Hopefully this may help any future builder. I take no responsibility!!!
