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"

Glen,
If the whole assembly slides in and out from the back, can I suggest you have captive nuts on the plate, so you only need to undo your 4 bolts from underneath, and the plate is out in 5 minutes?

Thanks Gary, but it it needs to slide out forwards. That vee shaped gap under the front of th diff. isn't large enough.
With the tailshaft in, access to the front two attachment screws/nuts is reasonable, and access to the rear two will be OK, and the assy can then slide out forwards easily enough.....if it needs to. Screws are socket cap head; nuts are nyloc; "Ringie" access to nuts is not a problem
I'm happy that you're paying attention with your "expert eye", though. Appreciated!
Cheers,
Glen

Now we have fuel supply lines from the tank through the rock catcher to the fuel pump in the tunnel, and then to the main filter....
