Looking sweet as usual
Any thoughts how you are going to vent the fuel tank?
I guess she's going to be pulling the fuel out of the tank pretty quickly

The tank has a breather hose welded onto it. I will have a one way valve to allow air to pass into the tank but not allow fuel to come out. I think that should world ok.

Engine starting to look clean!

More engine cleaning


Soooo.... any of you guys think this kind of clip on the rubber fuel line will be ok? Thinking of having a ally nut welded onto the tank hold the fuel lines still and stop them flopping about.
