Fuel bracket and hoses

The first RVS connector piece between the hoses, looks great!

I made a alu bracket to hold the fuel pump. I'll hope the alu is strong enough for this job.

As you can see the actuator and the actuator will need some work. On the righ hand side you see Thomas' refactored bracket.

All kinds of stuff

Trial fitted the AMAL valve. Now I have to figure out where to connect these 3 pipes to ;)

I wish I had fitted the fuel lines before I had put in the rear bulk-head and rear-suspension, there is so little space now, you can hardly drill a hole. Nevertheless, the fuel return line is almost finished now...

... but I think I have a problem here. There is too less space between the fuel tank and the De Dion axle to bend the fuel hose. As you can see, DAX welded the connector at a different location at the fuel tank but moved it to the right for whatever reason. I wish they left it there.

Finishing the fuel circuit

At least, that was my intention. It so hard to find a store were they sell proper material that I will NOT finish this today. I'm also thinking of where to put the post-fuelpump filter, behind the rear bulkhead, near the pump, or at the front in the engine bay.

To solve yesterdays' problem I cut off a piece from the fuel return pipe. Now I have another problem that the hose doesn't fit.

Fuel tank connected to the pre-pump fuel filter. In the background my shoes.

The bracket for the MAP sensor, will be fitted against the left footwell panel.

Cooling hoses

Fitted the fuel regulator

Connected this hose from the left hand side of the oil cooler...

...to the the upper right connector of the engine (below the fuel rail)

Since I do not use a heater, I directly connected the output of the ...

...to the right hand side of the oil cooler
