Brilliant, thats just the fuel pipe I need, thanks for the link Carl

How many metres do you think it is from the tank to the carb, then back to the tank again lol??

Thanks.

[camp freddy]

well tried the tank in and couldn't close the boot
so I had to chop a section out of the tank and weld
it back up, to allow the hinge to return. all ok now.





I have got to make a new bracket to retain the tank..

bought some more window film to tint the door glass, got one window done, then had
a nightmare with the other, totally wasted the rest of the film. got to get some more
now

well got the window film delivered to work today, so when I got home I tinted the
remaining door glass, all done now. also tonight I adjusted the clutch, fitted an engine
to body earth lead and sanded down the door and light bezel chrome work, then black
etch primed and sprayed with a satin black spray, looks good.. will post a pic when fitted.
Hopefullly may get to fit the door glass tomorrow .

Thanks for that, £30 isn't bad for all the fuel pipes really lol.

Yeah, good luck for the MOT. Is it booked in anywhere? If not, we do MOT's where I work in Anstey for £34, let me know if you would like a slot

If you need any help with getting the engine up and running, just let me know
