What transmission crossmember are you using? is it stock? I need to come up with something I can run 3" exhaust over the top of on both sides.

flamingbig10 · 04-23-2011, 05:44 PM

yes its the stock double hump one

*nbpro* · 04-23-2011, 06:33 PM

Coming along nicely. Can't wait to see the finished product.

baclay9 · 04-23-2011, 08:34 PM

Would it be a huge inconvenience to take a good pic of that trans crossmember for me. What did those come on?

Looks like you used a fitting right there from the braided line to the fuel sender, do you remember the part number for it? Is it one off Glock's list?

flamingbig10 · 04-26-2011, 07:24 PM

for the sender lines I shortened both the return and feed line a inch or so and used this one for a return line

Thanks, I bought these parts too from Glock's list....just wondering though how you got the line started at the fuel tank / sender? (I've never used braided lines before)

So, did you:

1. cut the ends off the 3 fuel sender's tubes,
2. then put a nut on each fuel sender line,
3. then flared the fuel sender line with your 37' flaring tool,
4. then threaded your a/n end onto the nut?

One other question, are you running one or two fuel tanks?

Thanks for your help!

flamingbig10 · 04-30-2011, 12:21 PM

I havent used the braided line before either
1.I cut the end for the feed and return spout and bent the vent line to get a mini tubing cutter in
2.yes
3.yes
4.yes
I'm running one tank

flamingbig10 · 04-30-2011, 08:43 PM
