Been working on installation of the fuel lines, both the main supply, and the return line.
Installation looks quite neat in the tunnel but with no hoist to use, it took a bit longer to fit the lines. The tunnel is closed in for some of its length for torsional strength of the mono, so access is a challenge.
I countersunk the screw heads on the top side of the tunnel, and I have a sheet of 16g alum. alloy to be fitted for appearance.
Here's the view from below decks....
Cheers,
Glen |

Very professionally done Glen. Did you have to bend the lines, or were they pre-bent? That is a tight area to work. If you ever end up in a POW camp, tunneling out will be a cinch with all the practice that you have had working in tight place 
Cheers,
Jim

Jim, you make me laugh. Thankyou.
Actually, to show you how tight....a picture from January this year, post #181, when apparently it was 33°C. Today it was much colder, believe me...
...and it's even tighter coming in from the other end 
edit: yes, pipe bends at both ends were professionally done

Milestone event after a slow start on the fuel system....
I've never built a fuel system from scratch before, so have not used braided hose and associated fittings previously. Info on ProFlow fittings is hard to find - in fact I could not find anything on building up ProFlow hoses, but can report that my first hose (from tank "out" to rock-catcher filter) is completed to my satisfaction...
Cheers,
Glen
**Thanks to Brett ( BJ's Snake) for advice  **

Looks good Glen! The one thing I hate the most about working on cars is having to install fittings on stainless steel hose. My finger tips are sore for weeks from tiny punctures from loose wires  I just do not do it enough to get proficient, or to justify the cost of the special tools. Make sure you wear good gloves.

Here's the fuel pump and main filter on their mounting plate, along with the rock catcher.
The pump and filter will be mounted onto the lower 'face' of the tunnel, just ahead of the diff. and under the tail shaft. Access for fitting could be described as "a challenge" 
Cheers,
