Fuel pump


Fuel pump mounted just below where the fuel tank sits. I used a pipe clamp to hold the pump itself which is then bolted to the chassis with rivnut inserts and two spacers.

Some new seals for the differential have been purchased from BearingKits.

Fuel lines

Previously, I'd rivetted a 40mm wide strip of aluminium along the right hand side of the transmission tunnel in order to mount the fuel lines. As I'm planning to use fuel injection, I need a second section of fuel pipe to act as a return back to the tank.

The kunifer fuel lines were mounted using 8mm rubber lined P-clips at intervals of 15-20mm.


A new CVH sump gasket has been purchased from EngineStuff which cost a lot less than my local ford dealer were quoting! The only other mod made to the cvh sump is a hole drilled in the correct position to allow access for the dipstick.

A new crankshaft oil seal has been purchased for the engine. The old seal has been removed from its housing but I require a new gasket before the housing can be re-assembled to the block.
