Hard lines for fuel and rear brakes bent up and run. Decided to go with the LS1 filter which has an integrated fuel pressure regulator so I can run a dead-head system with only a single fuel line to the front. It's not maybe ideal for the ultimate fuel system but hoping it will suit my application. It's also overkill @ 3/8 but I could only find 3/16 and 3/8 combination saddles
Also people have asked about a cover for the hole in my boot floor to access the in-tank Falcon pump - I just used an OEM EB-EF Falcon cover and nutserts to secure to the floor.
 
Looking at running individual coil packs so I can do away with remote coil packs and igniter modules - still mapping out my adapter plate to secure the coils to the Zetec valve cover.

hey paul. i am sure we talked about this but do you have enough room around you pump to get fuel lines in/out?
cant really tell from your photo how much real estate you have to work with.
 


Further to my other reply I'm also using OEM nylon EFI fuel line and push-on fittings as AN6 fittings and hose requires more room to fit and I want the tank as high as possible. That said there is plenty of length on the original hanging points to give around 30mm of clearance if required.

I like the factory feel you have to your build Paul with the mods looking like they are surposed to be there.

A few things have fallen into place over the last few weeks. I have been after an aftermarket ECU and a Haltech Elite popped up for the right money so I grabbed it. Also included was a WB1 module so I can use the wide band input for initial tuning and long term fuel trim etc.
Another "bonus" with the Elite 2500 is the ability to do DBW so that got me thinking ...… and I came up with this using a Toyota Yaris throttle pedal. It's actually quite close to the original pedal sweep and plane so pretty chuffed at that. I was contemplating making it adjustable as the brake / throttle pedal relationship can be a little odd when using a bias pedal arrangement. but this proved to be problematic as it did not secure the pedal as I had hoped so back to the original idea. However minor changes can be made by adding packers to the mounting to fine tune the pedal relationship if I decide too.
Just need to add a few more gussets to the bracket and it's as good as done. If for some reason things get too hard the original pedal can slot straight back in 
Engine end is slowly coming together as I need to sort out how to drive the quad ITB's but I have an idea......

Thanks Drew. Sometimes I feel I'm only treading water as I keep adding to the list of things to do

Another productive few hours today.
Finished off the DBW pedal mount and for the hell of it I made it adjustable 
Currently it has a total of 20mm of travel fore and aft (not much but it's something) but I may add a rake adjustment also just to increase the variation. I'm not 100% where the brake pedal will sit once assembled with the bias assembly etc so I thought at least I can change the throttle pedal to suit. Another plus for DBW 
All that remains is to make the captive nut backing plate to replace the nuts securing the pedal bracket on the inside of the pedal box and then powder coating.

and for the non-techno bots- DBW means.......?
