Been getting some things done, but not moving very fast.
Here are some pictures of the rear bumpers - lokar e-brake cables http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2658/3864068990_fddb574399.jpg http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2590/3864073376_4c611e46c9.jpg http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3470/3863287205_b808a4375c.jpg http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2633/3864070012_44bd9dcbcd.jpg http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3465/3863293069_3dc484ed25.jpg http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3490/3864075678_88a2cd31cf.jpg http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3455/3864080470_c261b16ac2.jpg http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2604/3863297731_35b2ef4483.jpg
 
Really nice job on the body and paint!

You did exactly the same thing I did with the fuel pump!

I bent up some aluminum tubing, used -AN fittings on the pump, used some -AN bulkhead fittings through the floor, and connected the tubes up that way. Ignore the wiring--I took this picture just after I connected it up to make sure that the pump would work and that there were no leaks:

I stared at this pic for a while and finally figured out this is your ignition coil mounted just behind the engine. Very clever way of cleaning up the engine compartment. My only concern with this would be access to the coil in the future.
:thumbsup: Love everything you're doing with this car. Great work!

stonecoldtx, what did you do for the vent line, also what were the fitting sizes that you used?

Mavken you're correct on the coil. There is plenty of room and it was easy to get on and off.
In this picture the coil is visible.

Looking good, keep up the good work & keep the pics comming.

On the module itself, you have to use the two 90-degree fittings, because they hold connecting tubes down to the pump and the tray, so I used a pair of 1/8" pipe thread to -6AN (3/8") fittings in the outlets of the 90-degree fittings, and a pair of -6 AN 90-degree bulkhead fittings for the floor.

I used some 3/8" aluminum tubing (because it was easier to work with), and standard -6AN tubing nuts and sleeves on them.

I have a 37-degree flaring tool that I got from Summit a couple of years ago, which is the angle you need for AN fittings, and used that to flare each end of the tubes.
