car is still going well other than a fuel leak from the rubber hose on the fuel rail to which i replaced the rubber for now!
ive started the process of replacing the rubber joints on the fuel line, im going to be fitting braided fuel lines,
the main reason in doing this is to remove the 10 joints in the engine bay on the fuel line flow and return.
I am going to be replacing them with AN6 aeroquip type fittings and stainless braid ptfe 8mm fuel lines
to start off ive bought some weld on AN6 fittings
to fit these i have cut the rail end off and drilled the fitting to the same size as the rail tube
I then silver soldered the fitting to the rail
2nd fitting soldered
I had to clean up the rail and what better way of stripping the rust paint and crud
Electrolisis....
12 hours later and a quick wire brush
now for some paint
1 coat of galvanise primer
1 coat of primer
few coats of black
more to come..........
