Well guys getting somewhere with the fuel pump system. But most of all I have sorted out my balance pipe system. I will respray the tanks tomorrow and then I can put them in and hook up all the hoses...Here's a few pics...

If your wondering this is because I will be sending the return line to the right hand tank and this will be the tube that allows the flow back to the left hand tank...Also I was going to get them brazed professionally but the engineering firm I went to weren't particularly helpful so did it myself with a MIG :lol: :lol:

:lol: :lol: Yeah Zizzle the thought crossed my mind more than once. I actually did the welding outside! And yeah I flushed them with water for 15 mins each. I also lit some paper and dropped it down the cap end and ran. Nothing happened so I thought I was right which I guess I was... :D

A bit of news I spoke to my engineer and he indicated that the BF Goodrich braided lines that came with the Metro Four Pots are fine and he will include in the final cerficate.

Yeah that is hey. So that means I can hook up the brakes and the clutch tomorrow. Also just finished spraying the Right Hand Tank. I think I should have the whole EFI system at the back done by the weekend and then comes the electrics.

Yeah AWD doesn't that look familiar. So how far along are you now because that is obviously the floor of the moke. As for me I am just finishing painting the right hand tank and stuff.

I pulled the electrics so I could finish the panel work & re-route the wiring to suit.
Still lots of welding & other fiddly bits, but getting there :D

Well have finalised the balance pipe and return line. And have put in the left and right tanks. Just got to run a line to the fuel pump and that parts done then it is just a hookup of fuel lines to the engine and then it is onto the electrics.
