nice to see the underside done properly aswell  I have to agree, especially the precision with which the twin fuel pipes (and brake line) have been run. I'm trying to do it that neatly with nylon (fuel) tubes and getting the bends set right is tricky. Schrödinger's cat - so which one am I ??? |

I initially bought a T2 from 306 diesel thinking it would be same as R5, but the mount to the manifold is a triangular 3-stud pattern and would have been a pig to mate up to the metro manifold. |

I've used original mini size ones, since i had two at hand. Presumably the 998 won't consume as much fuel as a 1275 so starvation is less likely to be an issue? |

You need a larger diameter return pipe to get all the excess fuel away from the regulator. You will have trouble getting the preasure set right if it can't return enough of the fuel to the tank.

I hadn't realised you had "cheated" and used two standard fuel lines  No wonder the bends are so good
Opinion varies, do a search. But I agree, it should be less of an issue on a 998. I'm using 8mm flow and 10mm return but that's because I don't want any issues later and mine's 1360cc and fuel injected (fuel injection is more sensitive to the return line) but I won't know until it runs for real in the car.

A bit more paint on it now, really nice finish, just a few raised dots to sort out. I'm just itching to get it all together and running but going back to uni next week, so there's no chance. Have to wait till summer :(

... um i just took dimensions from someone on here. I hope it fits, the actuator is a lot smaller so fingers crossed. Otherwise that'll be fun to sort out 
is yours a tight fit with the T3 then?
