twin 40 carbs FUEL PUMP QUESTION?

Did You suss yr pump wiring ?

 

ive got an idea (as above) ??? picking the pump up tonight as the courior couldnt find my house, the joke is they are based about 2 minuies from where i live, lol

 

GOOD NEWS! pump + regulator now fitted, tested it + works fine, bargain @ 30! fittin the carbs in 2 weeks @ my m8s garage, cant wait!

 

Ah well done, keep us posted on yr progress.

 

hi all, heres a pic of the pump and reglator in position, been told to move it back a bit as it may be a hazard in a crash. any thoughts?

 

Err... yep, whoever told you that are thinking on the right lines. Install looks neat though.

Try and make up a bracket and mount it at the back on the bulkhead. Or try not to crash.

 

well i dont intend to crash, lol. im goin to move the pump back so its nearer the strut top and bring the regulator round and fix it to the strut top area i think, just to be safe

 

Are you still running on standard brakes! a upgrade might be a good idea if your planning more horsepower

 

You'd be surprised how far back they'll go if you catch em wrong !



Even good brakes dont work too well on damp grass.

 

ouch

 

Tight hillclimb, fast left, lift-of oversteer, hook o/s/r wheel into gully, flick car accross track at 70mph, and can you steer around the only tree in yr path on nice shiny grass... err, no !

Was all repaired in 5 days and back out winning the next weekend though.

 

where abouts are you sprinting this year i would like to pop along and see your car in action

 

top work joey its coming along nicely i am still really interested in this for my 1.8 driver you will have to let us know how it goes, moving house at mo so cant really swing this expense

 

Hi all,
am fitting my carbs tomorro, here is a photo of my revised fuel pump location! much better me thinks!!!!!

 

Good luck with tomorro joey you will have to take lots of pics and let us know how it goes i keep thinking bout doing this just need to stumble upon the parts to get me going.
Once it is complete if you could possibly post your shopping list of goodies that would be great so i can start my own tick list of things to get with rough costs.

Cheers and good luck

Ben
