Figured out my fuel line tonight. Full details over here
—->>>CLICK<<<—- but here are the cliff notes:
Some -6 AN line, a couple 45° swivels and a couple QD fittings, and I'm back in business. The key is that stainless union at the bottom of the photo. I shortened my stainless factory hardline up and cut all the kinky re-bends out that I made. It's not perfect...I probably should have made a bracket to screw to the frame and used a bulkhead fitting, but, it'll do, Pig. It'll do.
Working on my brake lines too. This little crap takes SO much time. I have tomorrow off work, so hopefully I can knock out a lot of these little time suckers and get the stupid tub on.
In other areas...My new front bumper design is done. For a refresher, I bought a motobilt stubby and again, patterning
@jjvw's build, I designed up an addition to the bumper.
This will allow me to slide the winch back at least two inches toward the grill...helps protect it without a big hoop on the end. I will trim the 1" stiffening flange on the motobilt design, taper the butt edges, and weld this fabricated piece in...
Cost me 75 bucks to have this made, but its WAY better than I would have done with the tools I have. I just sent a print to my uncle's shop and then picked it up. With the time crunch I feel I'm under, the more parallel paths I can have, the better. My goal for the weekend is get the front bumper done, then send everything steel off to powdercoat Monday. "Everything Steel" will be my front bumper, rear bumper, a tire mount tag bracket, the supports for a Savvy Gas Tank skid, and anything else I can think of (like the grill support struts).
Then I gotta thrash like a madman to get the tub reassembled. I have a headstart...got the HVAC and main wire harness mounted last night.
I hope I did enough labeling, taking of pictures, and making drawings to be able to slam it back together. Once the tub is on and complete, I still need to cycle the suspension, install new shocks and set bumpstops!
