On order. The wife bought it as a surprise and wasn't aware of the delay in getting the gun from CZ. I will post up in this thread as my security system for the cruiser.
How is your project coming along?
While waiting for parts to come rolling in and the gas tanks to be finished up I started looking at the throttle linkage and how the gas pedal will be installed. It looks like I will need to convert to an older pedal or purchase a conversion kit to change the mechanical linkage to a cable linkage. After reading up on this I went with Downy's cable conversion on eBay under tojoproducts. Yet another item to wait on.
Tomorrow I will be heading down to Waverly Hall GA to pick up some OEM brake lines.
Today's work
I continued working on the fuel line plumbing. I went back and found a return line access to the top of the tank so now I wall have a fuel inlet (without a 'T' connection for a return), breather, vent and fuel out line.
The auxiliary tank will be 'T'd' into the primary tank's evaporator system and will have a fuel filter prior to the pollack 6 port fuel selector switch then pass through the electric fuel pump. I mocked up the fuel pump in the rear passenger frame rail so it will have close proximity to both tanks.
The primary tank has it's own pre-filter and then routes to the rear where it meets up with the switch and fuel pump. The soft lines are then converted to hard lines that run up the frame rail and come out at the engine firewall.
That's as far as I got today.i tried to keep it neat and clean.
Tell us (me) lessons learned with fuel line plumbing. It's on my list. Soft line source? Hard line size and source?
I just converted mine to mechanical. I have a pedal that is for a cable linkage if you want to go "au naturale".
I spent the big bucks on the Downey pedal kit. I am pretty pleased with it since I was able to use the stock GM throttle cable and bracket and ditch the one in the kit. One small square opening in the firewall and it works pretty well.
Let me know if you want all of my stock fuel lines. I will hold them for you if you pass through Atlanta soon.
Chris - great meeting you yesterday! Bigger Blue is in great shape - jealous.
Thanks again for the hard lines - very generous of you.
I have some thoughts on tranny/xfer that I'll add when I get in front of a keyboard....
I'll also find the pics of the clutch pedal. You need a longer rod or more room for the pedal to travel, not a shorter rod.
Enjoyed the 50 mike ride through the beautiful GA countryside from your house to I75! It was nice to be off the interstate and forced to go slow. We don't get to do that often enough.
I'll say it again - this is a great community.
