Was going to put an Accusump into this car, but wasn't able to obtain one easily due to the Covid-19 virus...so Moroso oil accumulator it is! This is the 1.5L version, which is the same size (roughly) as Canton's 2L Accusump. Hmph. Interesting. I decided for this car I would mount it behind the driver's seat. My '69 had it in the luggage area, and ran the remote valve handle, but I honestly prefer having the luggage space vs the accumulator hidden. I don't plan to put people in the back seat of this car anyways (you wouldn't fit with my seat where it is) so the loss of foot room isn't a big deal.



Milled up some brackets...


And installed the sump. All of my AN fittings that I keep "in stock" are red/blue for the Rally Bug, so I'll need to order some black ones for this car. I managed to sit down and plan out the oil system today, and then put in a very large Vibrant order. It will be a few weeks before that arrives, sigh. Even in lockdown I'm terribly impatient :P
