That's looking great Aidan, thanks for all your work.<br />
<br />
<br />Thanks Martin. Sometimes I feel progress has been slow.
<br />
<br /><br />Guyths I'm getting tired of working on my car. Roll bar installed last night. Oil cooler installed today, still need a new line and install the lines.<br />
<br /><br /><br />
<br /><br />Yank took my downpipe for the repairs. VICS intake Mani set to arrive next Monday.<br />
<br /><br /><br />
<br /><br />Lots of progress on installing the driver seat. What a horrible PITA.<br />
<br /><br /><br />
<br /><br />Also, was anyone else aware that NB2 door cards don't fit NB1 doors? The door latch is in the wrong place. I was incredibly irritated when I discovered this. Looking for black NB1 door cards, but I'm also open to other suggestions/ideas for door cards.

Ed, if I was going to order fittings for the lines between the tank and the NB fuel hardlines (both the feed and return) under the rear deck, what should I order? All I'm looking for is straights, 90s, etc. Fuel filter I've got covered.

<p>For what it's worth, when Josh came over he told me to just re-use the OEM connectors. A quick slice with the razor blade on the molded plastic line and they come right out. He has re-used these connectors on all his previous builds and hasn't had an issue with it yet.</p><p>I am using 226 PSI rated 5/16" fuel hose and worm clamps... even without the worm clamps, I can't friggin' pull the hose off the fitting by hand once I've pushed it on. It's ON there.</p><p>So anyway, if you decide to NOT go that route... you'll need... 5 or 6 90* 5/16" fuel line clips. Part number is in Flounder's thread about it... It's... Dorman PN 800-081.5. You can order them from Summit or Amazon or whatever. I did use one straight connector somewhere too, but you could use a 90 there instead.</p><p>Hope this is clear as mud. I don't have a spreadsheet of it

I'm not cutting up the factory stuff so yeah, it gives me an idea of what to expect. That's why I pestered you about pics earlier ![Giggle](https://www.miataturbo.net/images/smilies/gay.gif)
I was going to roll my own, I'm confident in my ability to not screw that up![wink](https://www.miataturbo.net/images/smilies/wink.gif)
Don't want to derail Ed's thread. Carry on guys

<p>LOL @ derailing my thread. Thanks for the thought though.</p><p>I apologize for my lack of photos. If I get home from work at a decent time tonight then I'll take some pics.</p>

It looks like on the feed side I can leave the line in place from the top of the tank to the filter, then make a short line from the filter to the hardline.
For the return side, I just go from the hardline back to the top of the tank. Easy peasy.
The only thing I was really looking for was the angles of the fittings that would be required and where exactly the line needs to run. I think I've got that now so while pics would be helpful, I'm not in dire need.
