I had a little snigger at the switches writing. Dash looks well made.

connected up the fuel system, all an8 with teflon hose

at the moment im running a single bosh 044 lifter with non-return valve to keep it primed, no drain back, and a second bosh 044 feeding the fuel rail with out a non-return valve as it sits below the swirlpot

, got the tank set up so i can at a later point move the one feeding the fuel rail into the boot so i have 2 lifter pumps and fit a fuelabs race pump in the front when i decide to go for real power

plumping in the davies craig electric water pump, using marine exhaust hose front to rear as its tough, easy to bend with a smooth bore
