Finished the fuel upgrades by adding a catch tank. Sounds easy, but involves a lot more than you'd think. Adding an extra fuel pump (blue one my former pump) to fill the catch tank, making space for the tank itself, which meant rotating the water tank in my case and adding another return to the original fuel tank, which meant taking out the tank and welding the return onto it (after all the precautions of course).
But very happy with the outcome, which also involded placing all fuel pumps and the filter under the dry-sump tank, so I had no fuel up front in the wheel well anymore, which feels safer in case of a head-on collision.
Low pressure fuel lines have stuck-on fitment, but all high pressure fuel lines are now screw-on type (AN).
