ive bought an electric fuel pump but i have no idea how to put it in and get it working. where should it be located?
do i need any extra fittings like fuel hoses/pipes?

i also need to Know about my eletric gauges. ive bought 3 smiths gauges (oil p., Volts, water temp) where can i get the fittings and wiring for these, i have also heard you can get a t-piece connection for the oil p and have a light in there too, where can i get all these bits and how do i wire them up?

thankyou,

Leighton

They are quieter if mounted on a Mini front exhaust pipe mounting.
The 2 bolt holes line up perfect... :P

Yes. 1 metre is plenty, get decent hoseclamps that fit properly (no stiff wormdrive ones).
I use USA made fuel hose, it doesn't go hard when using unleaded fuel.
