Update Time! In between my classes today I got to sit down and work on my MB.
I ventured out to my local Ace Hardware and found a M6 allthread rod. Talk about a relief, that was the fourth stop to a hardware store to find my motor studs.
I got back to my apartment and started hacking away at the rod to get my motor mounted.
Mounting Successful!
I contacted Duaine at ThatsDax about the gas tank. He said that it is normal to have some amount of rust and debris in the tank.
I expected metal shaving in the tank but not rust.
Out of paranoia I went got the "high performance" in line fuel filter. It does actually look nice, so I can't complain to terribly much for a $9.99 price tag. It also is a system where you can replace a fairly nice filter in it for relatively inexpensive. Each filter is suppose to last around 500 miles.
Anyways I was just about to mount it when I thought, "Does the angle of decline of the fuel filter affect its performance?"
Any takers on this? Yes or No?
I have attached a picture of how I was planning on fastening it down. I was planning on doing it with zip ties so the filter replacement isn't a hassle.
(view picture)
Would that be an acceptable place for the filter?
Thanks again everyone!
I am really seeing a light at the end of the tunnel! (not that I have even fired the thing up yet, but hey its starting to LOOK like it could!)
This whole process would have been much harder without this wonderful community, thank you again.
