Here's what I've been up to the last few days, or at least the things worth taking pics of.
I need to clean up under the car a bit before I paint it. I got some surface rust from the couple months the car was under a tarp while it was raining.
Here are some pics of the mounts for my petrol tank mounting straps. I made the straps out of stainless but I used the donor Honda bolts with the hook on the end to mount them.
This is the mount at the rear of the car.
This is a mount at the front of the tank. I notched the subframe to make it easier to get to the bolt. I may add a little more strengthening around the notch when I pull the subframe out again. But I may not either because it should be strong enough when it's bolted to the floor. I also plan to replace the rear subframe with just a bar to mount the radius arms to since I run coil overs.
I will peel the plastic off the stainless strips when I put the tank in for the last time.
I modified the Honda fuel filter today and I probably eliminated half of it, much lighter now! I'm going to mount the filter back near the tank instead of in the engine bay the way it was in the Honda.
I've finished up the filler on the tank. It looks kind of funny because of the position of the tank and because I used the filler from the Honda tank and I tried to position it in a similar fashion as it was in the Honda. But I had to shorten it up alot. I will attach the filler end where the nozzle goes in with a piece of rubber fuel hose so it has some flex. I TIG welded a bead around the end since I don't have a tool to flare the end.
Just a little more work left to do on the tank to seal it up.
