Hi,

 

I have recently fitted a fuel pump, and I have now got a Fuel Filter/Regulator combo to fit as well :D

 

Attached File  image.jpg   12.58K   6 downloads

 

I am struggling to decide upon the best place to mount this. Ideally I want this as close as possible to the carbs?

I am pretty short on space as I have twin HS2s and Hydro suspension (so an extra hose getting in the way!)

(excuse the messy engine bay this is an old photo, it is a bit cleaner now)

I wondered if anyone had any photos of how they have mounted theirs...

 

Any help/advice appreciated.
Cheers,

Rich

It is a Filter King with integrated regulator. Available from minispares (FPR004) but also available from lots of other suppliers. Just over £40 new I think, with replacement filters for <£5.

 

DEXISWOLF on here just has his hanging next to his carbs (one on each) he has twin carbs and pancake filters and they dont seem to get in the way

 

I would be worried that they were too heavy to hang next to the carbs, especially with the glass bowl. I will wait for him to pic to have a look though. Thanks.

That is where I want to put mine, but it is a bit crowded. Do you have any photos...

THAT'S crowded. :D

I can't find any pics of the last A Series one (there may be some in my Megajolt FAQ). But the pressure regulator is in the same place as this injection one in the picture above.
