pipe can be secured down to the chassis with “P” clips. At the front the pipe needs to turn up and join
the braided hose to connect with the fuel filter (250mm braided hose). The fuel filter is fitted on the
chassis rail below the carburettors on the rear of two mounting plates and can be secured using two
5/16”UNF bolts and Nyloc nuts. Connect the fuel filter inlet to the metal pipe using the braided hose
and securing with jubilee clips. The fuel filter outlet can now be connected to the carburettors using
the last length of braided hose and last two jubilee clips.
2. You will need to install a fuel pressure regulator between the fuel filter and the carburettors. This
will need a bracket made to secure it away from any moving parts or the pipes can be ‘P’ clipped to
the chassis to secure the regulator.
12.3 Ignition coil
Parts required 066
1. The ignition coil is fitted on the chassis rail below the carburettors on the front of two mounting
plates and can be secured using two 5/16”UNF bolts and Nyloc nuts. The king ignition lead supplied
with the engine can now be connected between the coil and the centre input on the distributor.
12.4 Exhaust
Parts required 072,073
1. Start with fitting the two exhaust manifolds to the head using the two exhaust manifold gaskets (no
sealing compound is used here). The manifolds point towards each other and down towards the
chassis and are held in place with 16 of 5/16” UNF brass nuts and lock washers.
2. At the outer end of the two exhaust manifolds fit the two exhaust gaskets (no sealing compound is
used here) before hanging on the exhaust down pipes. The longest pipe is the front item and exits
below the rear pipe and is secured with 8 of 3/8” UNF brass nuts and lock washers.
3. Next fit the two brackets that hold the lower edge of the exhaust silencer. The brackets bolt on the
chassis on the front of the lugs on the left hand lower chassis rail and exit through the body. You
may need to cut slots in the body for these, using the bracket as a guide. Drill one hole of approx
10mmin front of each chassis bracket at the top of the bracket then from outside the car drill another
hole underneath the first one low enough so after joining the holes with a pad saw the slot is long
enough for the bracket to fit.
4. The edges of these holes can be painted if required but will not be seen once exhaust is fitted. You
can then slide through the brackets and bolt them to the chassis using the four bolts and Nyloc nuts
provided. Enlarge the slots in the alloy floor panels if necessary.
5. Next trial mount the exhaust silencer. Slide the down pipes into the silencer and insert bolts through
the lower edge mounts. When you are happy with the location mark on the body the position of the
rear stabiliser mount.
6. Now remove the exhaust silencer and drill the marked hole to 8mm. Before refitting the silencer
slide the down pipe clamps on and smear the mating ends with exhaust assembly paste. The silencer
can now be refitted and all bolts and clamps tightened.
12.5 Dashboard
Parts required 149,163
1. Trial fit the dashboard pod and drill all necessary holes before trimming it with Black Rexine. When
positioned centrally mark to the side panels the mounting holes in the bottom dash rail on the
dashboard along with two in each side a several along the top. Before drilling these holes consider
the two mounting methods; -
• Method one - after trimming, bolt in dash (bolts visible).
• Method two - install clinch screws to dash before trimming. These bolts have counter-sunk
heads which grip the panel (don’t fit clinch screws in positions shared by the instrument pod).
