Thanks for the encouragement all! Its great to have the Sandman crew pushing me along...even though its a WB!

Alien, good question, i haven't thought about heat in this spot too much, but now you mention it, i guess its right on top of the tunnel with engine, gearbox and blower all just below and in front. Hmm, let me ponder...

On another subject, i know one of my ideas about the fuel fill location got some good debate a couple of years ago and i decided to stick with it. Started mocking up the pipe run today to go from behind the rear tail light to the tank with poly pipe. When its all connected together with the right angles and i work out any places where hose joints might need to be, i will get it fabbed up with 50mm tube and bolt it in.

Couple of initial pics for everyone;

If it ends up being the only solution for its location....i guess some form of thermal insulation should be considered. Whether or not it needs some air flow of sorts to dissipate heat....im not sure.

That fill pipe will be trick when done.
