XR6T into GQ conversion

metal stoppers built in will ensure if rubber lets go, torque twist doesn't do any further damage.
a mate of mine broke std mt and it saved his from this sort of disaster.
looking at pic you seem to be missing such added protection.
just trying to help, hate to hear it went pear shaped on you.
cheers

lol what ever happened to welding a couple of chain links on them.
It worked for the demo derby specials in the 70's

Putting in the Sub Tank at the moment and have cut the three lines that run to the rear tank and was intending using some brass olive connections but they won't clamp down hard enough for my liking.
How would I go slipping the hose over the pipe and securing it with a hose clamp? It does have to hold over 4 bar of pressure from the EFI pump.

Updates:
Ordered new alluminium fuel lines so I can run them down the correct side.
Short motor and Head back from a full reco, gave the block a quick coat of Red engine enamel.
The Short motor had some very bent rods, I had spares but they needed close and hone work as no caps for them.
I have ready to go in all new genuine head VRS kit and bolts, timing chain set, water pump, plugs and igniters, FG sump and pickup. All waiting assembly when I get game and I am finished with the NA motor I am using for test fitting.
Vapour injected Gas kit arrived which I needed before the final engine fit.
Working on the Intercooler fitting at present, I might go the BA AC condenser so hoses become a little less of a pain.

are you running an aftermarket bar? ive been contemplating removing my AC from my build, just to get that little bit more flow over my radiator, half the front end is covered by an arb winch bar. I'm not trying to steer you out of running AC, im hoping your response will steer me to keep it

[twase]

No, just the dealer supplied alloy bar without the winch. With the BA motor I think I can move the radiator and condenser back a fair bit to gain clearance.

Got a little bit done this weekend.
GU column in ready for the new black leather Airbag steering wheel.
Fly by Wire pedal mount fabricated and installed.
Air Filter finished and installed - this has been the best part of two weekends.

Steering wheel arrived, could not be happier with it.

I have said it before but this is trick. Your attention to detail is awesome and you could nearly be mistaken that this is how it came from factory top build mate awesome.
