Looking for advice again folks. I can find no information online regarding the correct route for the pipe from petrol tank to engine mounted (TR3) pump. There was no pipe on the vehicle when it came into my possession. I can only see three possible routes, 1/ through the interior of the vehicle and drill a hole in the scuttle, I see this as a no-go for safety reasons. 2/ run down the outside of the chassis member then up over top in front of the scuttle. This means drilling holes in bodypanels and negotiating sharp edges of the chassis which I don't much care for. 3/ run down the outside of the chassis member and underneath the chassis just in front of the scuttle and up into the engine bay. My misgivings with this option includes the pipe getting squashed by any hard object which I may accidentally run over.
p.s. yesterday I drove the car for the first time (various bits lashed on with wire) down a private roadway where I live. BRILLIANT! Engine sweet as a nut, gearbox fine and rear axle fine. Only slight issue which needs investigating when Doris allows is an unhealthy sound from the transmission tunnel when changing gear.
I would like to attatch a picture but I have yet to acquire that skill.
Nev.
