AP2289 Build log 'stage 2'

Here's the fuel pump and main filter on their mounting plate, along with the rock catcher.



The pump and filter will be mounted onto the lower 'face' of the tunnel, just ahead of the diff. and under the tail shaft. Access for fitting could be described as "a challenge"

Glen,

If the whole assembly slides in and out from the back, can I suggest you have captive nuts on the plate, so you only need to undo your 4 bolts from underneath, and the plate is out in 5 minutes?

Thanks Gary, but it it needs to slide out forwards. That vee shaped gap under the front of th diff. isn't large enough.
With the tailshaft in, access to the front two attachment screws/nuts is reasonable, and access to the rear two will be OK, and the assy can then slide out forwards easily enough.....if it needs to. Screws are socket cap head; nuts are nyloc; "Ringie" access to nuts is not a problem
I'm happy that you're paying attention with your "expert eye", though. Appreciated!

Cheers,
Glen

Now we have fuel supply lines from the tank through the rock catcher to the fuel pump in the tunnel, and then to the main filter....

Working on the brake lines now. I've run the line from the master cylinder to the rear end, through the tunnel.....




…and I now have the line out to the RH rear brake…




Cheers!
