I wasn’t happy with this pipework so I changed the angle of the carburettor banjo and shortened the fuel pipe.

The change resulted in a much neater installation.

The aluminium water radiator brackets were moved to underneath the black bracket which seems to work much better than the original fit.

The oil system is next. Most of the time taken to install the piping is working out the the route to make sure that it doesn’t rest or rub on other parts of the engine and it has a natural route which doesn’t lead to kinking of the pipe.

The oil supply hose is fairly easy to route but still requires careful positioning and ‘stand-offs’ to make sure nothing rubs.

There’s not a lot of space as you can see here.

Last job for today is to make the tee for the fuel pressure sensor. This will be fitted in the fuel line between the mechanical fuel pump and the cross connector that has the restrictor installed. This will ensure that the sensor reads the correct pressure.

The Tee must also have fire sleeving and secured in place with wire wrap.
