Costco and it is a very nice jack - very light and can lift 2tonne!
My mates just got one from Costco too. Although he is yet to use it. Same as my Arcan one that I gave about £240 plus delivery for . Wsh mine was £80.
It's stood the test of time though now, easily 3 years old. Can't beat em
Loving the build BTW mate.
Well i had a steel 3tonne black metal one from costco (its in the pics some were) it is low lift but weights about the same as it can lift so when i saw this light weight one i thought that would be ideal for pit use while on track etc so win win really
Well after a very eventful week/weekend involving getting a new job and, then facing the fact i'm going to have to move to Hampshire (near Bournemouth) for said job and, then having a panic car boot sale to shift some junk i have actually managed to make a small amount of progress with the car.
The new job is with a company called universal turbos the money and the prospects are considerably better than in my current job so that justifies the move really, anyway progress
Finally picked up some more expanding foam and finished off the o/s rear arch
Then i got thinking about what i was going to do fuel filler wise as the new wide arches didn't have a filler cap facility. Originally i was going to buy a flush fit fuel cap but the cheapest i could find that met my needs was around £80 so, i thought funk that, consiquently i have adapted the old one and now the filler sits inside the drivers door (a favourit position when relocating the filler)
The old filler after a good clean up
A minor alteration
A new hole in the inner wing
Then with the addition of another piece of pipe with a 45deg bend and some hose it now looks like this
Once it was all fitted up and sitting comftable i took it all apart again for some paint - i only got as far as priming but at least i know thats that sorted
pipes primed
During this process (in order to get the filler pipes lined up) i also cleaned up and fitted the fuel tank
Now the tank was in position i could fit the fuel lines and low pressure facet to the car
Facet pump with the fittings fitted with pipe seal (none of the ptfe shoit)
And the pump mounted in its new home, behind the drivers seat
I have chosen this mounting position against the favoured chassis leg mounting position under the car for a couple of reasons, firstly because the pump is designed to opperate sitting this way up and secondly and most importantly there wasn't a suitable mounting position under the car as the space behind the rear axle will be filled with an air deffuser (hopefully) - i'm happy with it here and i will enlighten you all to the pipe work strategy once i have some new fuel hose.
Thanks for looking
You'll be in the best Mig region when you move down...
Filler is done the same as mine is, smell of fuel is annoying, but it might just be my set up..

What filler cap do you use? I don't think the smell is oing to bother me that much on track
coming on nicely, thats where i had my facet.
i got my fuel filler cap from tweeks a good few years ago now
I use one of the aerofit metal cap things, i "trimmed" it done a bit to fit...Originally Posted by Count Vaux Alot
