I swear i have searched this on the forums "Advanced" search system, and i cannot find it, so im starting a new topic!

If you can find it mentioned elsewhere, ur a better person than me! and SORRY!

OK, I got a filter king fuel filter, and pressure regulator. I cannot work out where and how to put it.

Some people are saying mount it close the the carb as possible, ok but where, or what to? A friend of mine said it might mount directly onto the carb, but i dont know where?

Any ideas, or advice much appreciated!

Thanks, Add

Aye, the forum search has gone funny since the crash or hack TMF had a few day/weeks ago.

~For the fuel filter king. All the ones I've seen are mounted on the bulkhead of the carb to the left of the wiper motor.

On the bulkhead will be fine - somewhere accessible and not too hot.

bulkhead of the carb to the left of the wiper motor.

Bulkhead of the car??

That's where mine is I'll take a photo of the bracket I made if you like...would be an excuse to clean it anyway Think I may even have a C**p drawing lying around if you wanted to copy it

Do you have an extra steady bar coming from your thermostat? That might get in the way there

No, but i do have a clubman, and a nicely positioned washer bottle, one side of the carb, and break and clutch cylinders the other! oh darn!

Pictures would be good! Thanks )

I moved my washer bottle to the drivers side inner wing like the later mini's

Then I put the filter king where the washer bottle used to be. just bend the bracket to match the slope of the bulkhead, and keep the filter vertical.

you will need new washer pipe and new mount (minispares) as it sits vertical not on a slope, or get bottle and mount from a scrappy.

Oh and you will need to extend the wiring for the washer bottle pump.

As promised, one picture of a grubby filter king and associated grubby bracket.

You will have to excuse the dodgy fuel line 'clip'. That went on just to set the pressure and never came off again! Safety first kids...

The bracket is symmetrical so the same on the other side. Just without the fly.

No problem man, to be honest I forgot. I was taking photos of this interesting frog i found under my car and then had a flashback.

I made it using metal and bending! I think its about 20 gauge steel. I'll try and dig out the drawing I made for it when I should have been working, then all you need is your own metal and bending!...its easy enough with a vice, tin snips and a file...

Anyone want a picture of a really interesting frog?

Hell yea! I found a toad next to my hot tub. So i put him in a bucket and re homed him near the lakes near my house (where they filmed cape wrath as it happens) i have busy road outside my house, lorry car park to rear of garden... so i though best re home him before he squished! Or before frog spawn appears in my hot tub! lol

I best get bending then!!

Thanks

My filter king came with a flat piece of metal to use as a mount, it was pre cut to bolt to the side of the filter king. all i had to do was bend a right angle 90 in the middle of the bracket and then bend it slightly further, till the filter sat upright on the bulkhead. I then removed the bracket and drilled holed to self tap it to the bulkhead.

I cant remember, but I think I used the old washer bottle holes to fasten it in place.

Will try and get you a photo, once i have found the camera, hopefully tommorrow.

I used a solid state facet fuel pump, and hid it up between the tank and the rear seat bulkhead.

photos would be awesome of both the filter king and pump... thanks...

There ya go

Leave enough slack on the pipe from the fuel tank to the pump so you can move the tank to one side and get to the shocks etc without removing the pipes. makes it much easier.
