Today I finally made good progress. Lot of fabrication and various equipment has been purchased / borrowed (thanks @Mark_L) to make the fuel system cell. I’m really pleased with how it’s come out I just need to sort another couple of bulkhead fittings on the cell for the tank return and lift...

We’ll get it sorted @Mark_L! She’ll be better all round this time.

Yes mate that’s exactly my plan. I’m building a box this weekend. I don’t want this exposed at all inside the car. The photos above show the placement of where the box may go.

It’s 2pack paint mate through a gun. Very hard wearing.

Final order of fittings made last night so should start to see the fuel system taking shape shortly. I’ve also bought some new workshop equipment to make a proper fuel cell for the setup to sit in. Should look great once complete. More updates with photos shortly.

Not really mate, it may see a round of Time Attack or a Sprint at some point either way I want everything done right.

Thanks @Pav New parts are gradually arriving for it.

Agreed with the above. It’s not a common failure on the F4R engine in particular. I have seen oil pumps fail but believe it or not it’s not always down to the pumps mechanical failure, it’s often down to sump sealant blocking the oil pick up or worse still blue paper towel! I’ve seen that a few...

Not much progress made on the fuel set up. But have been busy doing CAD “cardboard aided design” The floor is quite uneven close to the fuel tank however I want to keep the fuel system close to the lift pump. I’ve mocked everything up to get an idea of best placement and scale and have...

Quick brake service today and everything appeared to be fine thankfully.

Definitely give them another coat of proper paint mate before you fit or before you do something with it as they’ll look like they’re well used after a few hours like you’ve never refurbed them. Check the taper on the bleed nipples compared to the old ones mate. If they are the same you’ll be...

Look good mate. If you can try and get different paint. That Halfords calipers paint is useless and won’t last 5minutes from the brake dust. It also comes off with brake cleaner! I know this because I used the same then ended up having to repaint them. Are they genuine nipples? The HEL nipples...

Good find

Not sure yet mate. It will depend on where I fit the pot and pump really. It’s likely to be made in alloy sheet.

Made another fuel pump cover today for @m.a.c Sorting out the remainder of the fuel system now. I have some of the fittings I need ready but just need to order the final parts now. Can’t wait for it to be done now and to get back out in the car again.

PM me your email and I will send you a copy.

Make sure if you have a cross brace on the top part of the cage that you allow clearance mate.

Possibly Mark. I’m not keen on having a fuel setup inside the car so will look at options for this. I could make an alloy box for it all to sit in with a detachable lid. Going to take my time with it so I get it right. If anyone is as daft as me and wants to fit a roof vent I have a template...

Yes Mark, the rail worked a treat mate. My plans for the internal fuel set up have since changed now too as I can’t run the lines as planned so I’ve decided to go with one of these. It’s more hassle and expense but at least it will be done right and future proofed.

Haha not something I really wanted to do but it will certainly help with keeping it cool inside, besides that I can't go back now! I mentioned just before Christmas that I was planning a few more modifications so have decided to order a set of these to go with the DMACK tyres I ordered off...
