Hoping someone already has a tank out so they can measure the bung and post the size for us (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif)

A few things are happening, I finally took a look at the driver's side long and this is what I found. Looks solid!

AN -12 lines fit through the stock hole openings in the triangle gussets along the longitudinal. Yay.

I'm trying to simplify this.

I did a simple GT mod by installing the hood opener on the grille.

Some people may not like it but I do.

I drained all remaining gas out of the car, pulled the tank and had my handy-dandy machinist friend make this custom aluminum tank plug for the return line inlet in the tank that I will not be using. It is made to be press fit, and with a bit of gas Permatex, it should do the trick.



You inspired me, my return fitting was in poorer condition than yours, so I made an aluminum plug similar to yours, here's the dimensions:
3 diameters,
top one that goes into the tank fitting is .45"dia by 0.3" long
mid part that fits into nut is .66" dia by .1 long, and bottom one that protrudes out bottom of nut is .37" dia by 0.3 long.
I use Viton O-ring size 2-015 is's an .070 section ring with ID of about.48"

I know, but I was busy driving the heck out of the car. I just never got around to it.

I wasn't sure -12 would fit through these gussets. It does. Duh.

You know, on mine I don't have any grommets. If I see it start to fray I'll do something about it but our race car mechanic said not to bother.

No grommets needed if you have both ends clamped to the body. no lateral movement. This hose is very tough and it's a tight fit. The holes are not sharp or jagged, I think it will be fine.

I've got a call in to Jesus, er, ah, um, I mean James Patrick to pick his brain a little bit on the design/layout of the oil cooling system I'm installing.

You think. Those are usually the things that bite you in the ass. As Chris H. said, "Everything I did half assed I'm re-doing now". (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif) Why not do it to perfection. It's cheap. Order some of these http://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/hapa...napbushings.php then stop by and borrow some of my hole punches. You'll just need an crescent wrench to use them.

That is 100% true. Can't wait to weld up the holes I made in the trunk that I didn't need (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif).

I'm actually trying to avoid drilling any holes that aren't necessary. This is taking me a while because I have to think it all out and do it how I see doing it.

Nothing like reading the Route 66 thread and WCR in Mammoth to get the /6 conversion juices flowing again. I'm fucking sick of seeing this beautiful car up on jack stands in my garage.

I'm back at it with new vim and vigor. Little by little, I might just get this running in time for Temecula.
