Welderman has made a few of these for people so far. Send him (Joe) a U2U for details!

Can't for the life of me, remember what size fuel hose you need, I want to say 8mm, but I just can't remember for sure!

I mounted the fireblade pump just next to the diff, then had 8mm pipe copper pipe down the tunnel. Flared the ends using a flaring tool. I mounted the
pump by bending a nice alumium bracket up, covering the inside with stick on foam and clamping it to the chassis rail so the noise and vibration was
kept down. If I recall it was about level with the tank outlet.

Similar to above.
I used a zx9 bike pump (some mitsubishi thing) mounted down by the diff.
8mm o.d. copper gas pipe, soldered on an olive at each end to retain the rubber hose. This runs from the bike pump at the rear to a filter just
before the carbs.
Tank from allyfab, really nice.
