Slowly getting the fuel system in

Mounted the fuel pump and filter, today and wired the pump and isolater switch, then cut hoses to join tank to pump and pump to filter. Marked up some of the wiring loom, and put our remaining foam tape on the chassis where the tank will go. It doesn't sound much but took a total of 9 man/woman hours to achieve.

The pump was a real so and so to fix, the position was dictated by wiring lengths, position of diff support bracket and the way the pump sits in it's bracket. Even now the fuel run from pump to filter looks uncomfortable.

We are now worried about getting the engine in this week, as (a) don't think we have an oil pressure sensor that needs to be fitted prior to the engine going in (b) don't seem to have any prop shaft bolts that are also necessary before engine is fitted.

A trip to Dudley may be needed in the morning. let's hope that there is someone in at Westfield tomorrow.
