F4R'd ITB'd '92 cup racer
i haven't read the whole story here
but when i tried to fit my 172 alt to my non-pas setup the housing got caught on the bracket
the 16v one has a very slight difference in the shape of the housing and so clears the bracket no probs

that could be why then
Geesus, was going to text you on behalf of chris, he said do you have a ph1 172 fuel rail spare by any chance?
i do have one, but not 100% sure it's going spare as yet, he is first in line though as soon as i make a decision

I thought it was a ph2 rail he has at the moment
F4R'd ITB'd '92 cup racer
some of the early ones came with the fpr on the rail (like yours) and some of the later ones (still from a ph1) had the fpr in the tank, so the opening for the fpr on the rail was blocked off
mine is the one without a fpr in the rail, so i used an FSE to control the pressure
ive also got a webber fpr that came with the bodies, i just don't like how it was mounted so stuck with the FSE

Ah, i'll have the later ph1 item then, with the hole blanked off.
What would be the most cost effective way of regulating if I cant find the early type with built in reg? Still using Valver pump.
How much was the FPR from Renault if you can remember Matteh? I'm sure you've told me before!

A bit more on the engine last night and today. Plenty more painting and a few other bits you'll see too.
Had a Gates cambelt kit turn up from Pete@Auto-Nation the other day, excellent service and great price; highly recommended.
f0xy is stopping by mine on Monday afternoon on the way to Cadwell and timing the engine up for me with the new belt/tensioner/idlers etc.
Decided to replace my camera mount due to it not being all that great before. It vibrated loads and the bloke at Cadwell last time wasn't too pleased with it. So i made this up to mount on the cage using my tripod and a couple of exhaust clamps. Hopefully it'll be better and get some half decent footage
Also got a new sunstrip after having a new windscreen fitted to replace the old cracked one. Black again, but more of a satin vinyl than gloss this time, looks better. A little deeper too
Spent a bit of time on my inlet next...
You may wonder what's different...
Coilpack bracket chopped off. Firstly because it looks crap, secondly because it sits right under the bonnet vent. I could have blocked the vent up, but I'd sooner try and mount the coilpack elsewhere, probably near the thermostat housing somewhere.
Then some paint. Stripped all the cambelt covers off in preparation for monday and painted them. Also painted the fuel rail guard and rocker cover breather
You may notice a black and silver theme appearing.
Also painted the back of the block which I didnt get round to doing before
Tidy garage as always!
