This self adhesive-heat reflective stuff is stupid money but you can’t buy better and it will stop the stainless Exhaust warming up the ATL alloy Fuel box with tank inside that ...even though the 2.5inch pipe is 3inches Away Day666 has attached the following image: |

Looks a lot better than having the swirl pot on pump mounted inside the car ________________________________________ Old pugs don't die they just get faster |

Nothing update really .....Had to run a fuel vent from the ATL ANC oneway upside down connection on top of the tank ...it lets the tank fumes out and stops the tank over expanding with pressure ....also if the car went over it stops the fuel escaping ... Goodridge 611 Teflon fuel hose that I use on fuel lines wasn’t needed so I used Aeroquip x3 Webbed ANC for vapour line ....I’ll buy Torques Teflon lined with ANC fittings if I smell any fuel ... I went Diectl into drivers side wheel arch where filler cap used to be ..... Day666 has attached the following image: |

New battery 2Kgs and 12volt @ 30amp hr and going behind the drivers seat and running quick charge connections to charge it from the boot  ...Fair bit more of weight saving ... The tanks saved 7kgs total inc all bits added up ....19kgs on two items isn’t bad Day666 has attached the following image: |

That’s a lot of weight saving, how much electrics do you run in your car, my next project after getting the seats in is relocating the battery and I’m not sure on what to buy I was going to use a mx5 battery ________________________________________ Old pugs don't die they just get faster |
