After getting the fuel bowl lines sorted out, on to the harder problem of routing the fuel and return line to the tank.
Looked at a lot of ways to do it, and not were really that good, here are a few. NOTE : My fire wall and transmission clearance is different then a stock tiger so space is tighter as engine is moved back a small amount.
Various routes like though the fender well, though the corner of the bell housing area were all looked at, and finally rejected. The fender options was almost a go, then I realized what happens when a tire shreds or wheel ailment happens (Yes, they do and have to me at the track) and what that would do to fuel lines in that area. So without some shielding it's a no go.
Finally had to listen to a few other to RUN THE FUEL LINES THOUGH THE INSIDE OF THE CAR. That was my last resort, and finally had to go that round. So I moved the Alternator electrical fitting, and repurposed the hole for the -8, and added a new hole for the -6 a bit offset so I could get lines on and out the back. Plumed the regulators and made up some hoses. The -6 is still waiting for some fire sleeve, but looks good and likely will tie these up to the export brace.
Waiting on fittings for the line to the carb, hopefully this weekend the delivery man will make it so.
Then onto running the lines back to the truck, not sure yet if hard line (Nicopp) or braided steel. Hard lines will take some time, hose just some cushion clamps. Going to try to run under the passenger seat (LHD). Will see how that goes...
