That's kind of what Sinny wrote (if you were able to see what he typed to get changed to Bananarama!) ;)

Fuel rails

Now as I need to have the regulator after the fuel rails there was worry that the an-6 rails where not going to flow enough.


So bigger is always better always !!

I look at everyone's else fuel rails and went one size bigger.

I bought some AN-10. 20mm inside Diamter :shock:

Fuel rail stock and with a good friend cut the injectors pockets and mounting.

Also made a fuel T block (1 in 2 out ) this will sit at back of blower.

Mocked up some fuel pipes ( you think stainless brakes line are fun come and try this stainless 5/8 pipe ! )


Thanks for all your kind words


Will

Could not agree more its such a fine line between utter class wow

and total poo.

You can have something so close to perfect and a little bit to much and it just turns to poo
