The next problems raised its head tho...

Let me throw this one out there,

When the fuel gets low it runs out of power, I put the fuel pump lower but still when the tanks gets to half or under it starts surging and when you put your foot down there's nothing..
Do you have a surge tank? I didn't and mine used to cut out a bit if I put the foot down when under a 3rd of a tank.
Surge tank with a lift pump will fix it.

If you put food in the tank, eventually it will go wrong Bob.

I've heard a whisper that if your foot steps in your food while you slip on fuel, you should chuck it all in the bin ;)

No I don't have a surge tank.. But it's sounding like that's what I will be needing.

or a tank from a fuel injected bay , or mod the split tank if thats what your using with a small bowl section welded to the bottom coming thru where the cutout is for the feed line , rectangle shaped hole .
Straight axle is better than IRS

You've been polishing your bat and ball for a while, now it's time to play cricket :wink:

Don't stop playing just change your game

Haha no box is fine because its hardly been driven, had a few little issues then had to wait a couple of months for a cranky kit starter to come in...

I'm heading to Brisbane next week so it will be fitted and rolling again I will grab done pics. I took one after it was done I will find it and chuck
It up soon.
