I don't comment very often on the board but I read it daily and after clicking the "What's New" button, your thread is most often the first I read. Your work is WAAAAY beyond what I can do. I use your ideas, approach, and workmanship as an inspiration on whatever project I'm working on. My first thought is usually "dam that's nice".

Keep up the great work.

Thanks for the compliment Mike, I guess you mostly need imagination but good tools help.

You,Steve??over the top??Nah,mate..wouldnt happen...would it??

Hi Steve,looking really good and I too fell like Lyn,repeating myself all the time when you set the damn bar higher and higher. Do you have to run a number plate light on the rear and where you going to hang that if you do?? Do you have to show a plate at the front too like here in NZ.??

Thanks Whip, I have ordered the proper Willys repro plate light which mounts just below the plate, by law we have to have a plate light and yes we have to run front & rear licence plates.

Thanks Robin, that stuff i use is called blown glassfibre i believe.

Got a nice surprise off the postman this morning, my new seat covers had arrived and a box of Aeromotive fuel system parts
I had the old covers remade but with a diamond pleated design, I'm actually now selling GRP versions of the Empi seats and can supply covers in either design.

I think they look much better.








The fuel system parts were a Aeromotive A1000 fuel pump, post & pre filters and a Bypass regulator, On reading the pump instructions i found out that the pump should not be run for longer than 30 minutes without a speed controller which is another $200 I wonder why this isn't put on their website :whistle:
Also in the instructions i found that this pump has to have a sump on the tank.








Anyway in between interruptions where i had to stop and make some brackets for Mick Harles new electric fan and do a quick fix on Sues 29A for the MOT this morning I finally got around to making the sump up.
There was a drain plug where the rear of the sump needed to be so that was removed and 6 x 1" holes cut for the fuel to enter the sump, putting holes in rather than cutting 1 big hole would help baffle the fuel and make sure the pickup would always be covered.








First job was to make up a cardboard template








Next the template was laid flat and some 16swg sheet was marked out.








The shape was cut out and folded, corners were welded up.








Tig welded into position.








5/8" holes were drilled for the -10 fittings and deburred, 2 were put in but only one used for the moment. Next 2 weld on bungs were turned up and threaded 7/8" UNF








Also my old mate Paul Hobby kindly powder coated my battery tray silver, Thanks Paul.






:thanks:
