Tighter than Tight

I tried to fit the pump at various angles again and managed to find one that would just about fit with a few mm of clearance between the hoses and the mounts. Just to double check it all, I decide to fit the headers only to remember that they fouled the starter. A quick two minutes with the grinder gave a decent gap between the two and should help keep the starter from getting too hot. Once the headers were fully bolted up I checked the inlet line and moved onto the hard line.

I taped the filter on where I wanted it to be and straightened up the fuel line to fit it to the side of the frame. I realised it was impossible to cut the line accurately as the tank bolts to the underside of the body so I left it where it was and moved onto the brake lines. I started off at the front and fitted the nice anodised ends and T’s I bought from Speedflow then moved to doing the rear axle.

Once I’d finished the rear line, I set about cutting off the shock bar that I’d welded on a few weeks ago. I carefully cut through the welds with the air grinder before splitting it with a hammer and chisel. Once the bar was off I cleaned it all up, turned it round the RIGHT WAY and welded it all back on. A quick clean up of the welds and I called it a day
