Pushing to make this thing run (again) before the Fall. Built another thing to hold other things.

The goal here is to tuck everything up high enough that there are no immediate tells from the outside of the car that something is up, and to preserve the trunk space because I have come to rely on that space to hold stuff when I go racing.

The gas tank can now go back in.

Okay no gas tank quite yet. Needed to build a bracket to hold a -10AN bulkhead fitting. For those wondering the main feed line was originally spec'd for a fuel cell... so this is how I had to connect A to B for now (forever?).

No start up yet. Decided the prudent course of action was to do proper wire management. So a couple miles of corrugated split loom and electrical tape later this is where I currently am:

Form follows function.

Also trialed moving the filter.
