gixxer, any other details?

 

[gixxer750]

Fuel pump is an aeromotive a1000, with 8 gauge power leads. Fuel feed line is -10 aeroquip. Will be running 3/8's stainless steel hardline from fuel pump to front of car, and going to -6 braided stainless hose to the rail.

Fuel Cell is a summit racing 16 gallon cell with 0-90 sender. I will be making my gauge work....somehow. Box is built from 1/16 5056 aluminum. I will be modding behind the tag and putting a filler neck behind it before long.


Thats about all the details....:dunno:

That's pretty... Can I have it?

looks cool. but a couple things.

do you plan on cutting out the rear sheetmetal and dropping this in? how do you plan on bracing it? how are you making a cover for it? are you gonna support the fuel pump other than the 2 bolts?

I'm planning cutting out the rear sheetmetal. It will have two modded fuel tank straps on the bottom. It will also be held in my several stainless screws. The fuel pump has 4 bolts in it. It is bolted to a 1/16 welded on and braced plate. It is also secured inside the box for the cell, as two of the bolts go all the way through and have 1 inch washers on the inside. The fuel pump has a layer of rubber between it and the box. I'll build a hinged cover out of aluminum that I'm going to weld up with quarter turn fasteners to hold it down.


I think that about covers those questions...?

if you burn up that a1000 too i will laugh my ass off.

i guess you will have to lift the hatch to fill up.

Nicely done.

I think you plan on doing some kind of mod like behind the license plate correct?

 

[gixxer750]

plan on it, but not at the moment. I'm waiting closer to bodywork time for that.
