I just read it back and thought oops everyones going to think im crazy with that comment [emoji23] ... yeah the outlet on the pump doesn't even have any barbs so could have easily slid off.. im surprised the fuel pressure didnt just blow it off.. theres the risk of overtightening it too and crushing the plastic outlet causing a leak
I assumed the typo option mate, so your safe. Regards crushing the plastic, you'd have to be one heavy handed fucker to crush it I reckon.
I was going to say thats how I'd do it.. most road car fuel pumps have the same plastic outlet design and they usually use the standard push on clips.. We had the same connector inside the tank to the pump on our GT3 cars too
That's how I was going to do mine as well tbh, but I just thought I'd give the adapters a try. The aeromotive quick connect adapters don't work with the renaults mate as there's not enough length on the outlet pipe. If the ring that it clips on to was further down the pipe and not so close to the body of the fuel pump housing/fuel rail they'd fit straight on. Inconsiderate s***s. Lol
Not straight on to the pump housing mate I'm afraid. They will only work if you use them where I've used mine, so that would mean using the original plastic pipe from the pump to the rear of the subframe.
Definatly inconsiderate s**ts!!
How much?Just a little update, if anyone's interested in a set of custom aluminium brackets to mount brembos let me know! I'll have 10 sets soon to mount brembos on 300mm discs, or a 2 piece option that I'll be running in 295mm form.
No option of a 280mm setup, but if people are interested enough anything can be done.
They will be about £140-£150 delivered mate. That includes all hardware required as well. Direct replacement as well so no faffing.
Neither can I! Lol!
Yeah it's all coming together nicely now mate.
Yeah no worries mate. It'll get sorted either way.
No mate I'm afraid not.
Only for 2 weeks mate as I'm in Majorca on my hols! Back on Saturday though so I'll be cracking on next week. :up:
Lol we overlapped then! I arrived on the 29th.
We are in Puerto Pollença mate.
Yeah it's still there mate along with the Chinese restaurant. We are at the other end in a apartment along the pinewalk.
You wait until I get back mate! I've got a fantastic picture of a hideous wiring mess! Lol
Lol ok mate! I'm a self confessed wiring pervert so it's hard to tell when your just boring people with pictures of the same s**t! Nice to know people are enjoying it though.
I enjoy it as well mate. In my job though I don't have the liberty of being able to take my time! I just have to get stuck in and try and find the problem.
There's not much to pm about atm mate. They will be being made from alloy T7076 I think, can't remember off the top of my head though. The grade we are going to use is as strong as steel though, but obviously lighter. Another bonus is that they'll work with a wide range of calipers that share the 130mm spacing, so ap, Alcon, Porsche brembos etc will also fit. Can't comment on the discs though, but it's a piece of piss to work out bell offset and rotor sizes.
142mm off the top of my head mate. Yeah designed for radial mount calipers bud.
