Scuttle, Fiewall & Dash Moumting











I wasn't happy with the standard of my first Scuttle, Firewall and Dash mount. So I ordered a replacement from GBS. The desigm had been modified and now has holes drilled for the wipers, windscreen and for a bolted mounting........much easier than my first attempt.

Side panel (drivers side)


Side panel finally installed, the panel had been trial fitted and drilled back in April but had been awaiting the hydraulic brake hoses to be installed. The panel was final fixed using glued and riveted.

Goodridge Brake Hoses






















Invested in a full set of Goodridge hoses to replace the copper brake lines......ridiculously expensive but very nice.

Fitting the Side Panel - Passenger side

After connecting up the speedo and gearbox sensors I fitted the tunnel wall. Lets hope there are np more requirements for access as space is severly restricted.
If I do require access I will probably cut hatches.



Fitting the side panels was the longest task to date due to my choice to rivet every 50mm. The drivers side is ready to be fitted but the running of the front brake lines will be easier without the panel fitted.

Speed Sensor & Magnets


The speed sensor magnets (2 off) are attached to the drive shaft 180 deg apart. The dimples on the magnets are facing out the way.
The sensor is mounted with a 4-6mm gap.

LP Fuel System


The LP Fuel pump is mounted as close to the fuel tank as possible.

HP Fuel System







Fuel System



Installed the fuel system as per the attached sketch. The LP system was piped in standard fuel hose and HP system was piped using Goodridge hose and fittings.

Mounted the Jenveys

Mounted the Jenveys. The wiring harness from the original inlet manifold to be utilised for the new installion.
Location of the fuel system (swirl pot, fuel pump and regulator) components is delaying progress. I am planning on using the Goodridge braided hoses and fittings which will require a different fuel pump and the fuel rail fittings.
