What you will find here: Intended to display minor modifications to my Westfield SEi, this blog now witnesses the two year rebuild (and more) after a major crash in October 2011. Have fun and feel free to add a comment at the end of any post.

Fuel tank (almost) ready

Back from the welder. The fuel lines will be made out of 8mm aluminium tubing. The goal is to find the best routing for both lines avoiding too much bends and ending in a suitable position for the connections. As for the filler, I'm currently looking for the best way to fit a classic Monza type filler instead of the aero-style originally fitted. The latter is a real pain in the @ss.
Fuel outlet now features a JIC connector instead of a simple hose type and will be connected with a flexible line to the aluminium tube.
The same JIC connectors for the fuel return line and additionally for a vent if it should show that one is needed. If not, a cap will close the connector. Ventilation through the filler should be ok but the possibility of an additional vent is given. Easier to plan it now than to put the tank out again later.
Cheers.
