Whats the heater for .... .....whatever it is, or used for, all this stuff sounds like its gonna be heavy        Why is the tunnel full?, it hasn't got the nasty heavy gear linkage in there as it's cable isn't it?

Yup, the gearchange cables run along the top of the tunnel though.

Last count of stuff to go down the tunnel:

2 cooling pipes
2 heater pipes
Petrol feed and return
Vacc to servo
Speedo cable
Accel cable
Clutch pipe
Brake pipe
2 oil cooler pipes and thermostats.

And the electrics aren't mentioned yet......

Do you need a servo Also can't you tee the heater outlet pipe into the rad

1) No, but the gf does
2) Probably, but i'll go MR2 standard for now, then start modifying things - there's a reason Mr T. did it that way i'm sure.

A couple of pics attached a little poor quality but these where taken with the cheapist digital camera known to man as it was my workshop donkey for those quick snaps during the initial build of my car, boy thats a few years ago now.


I would suggest not cutting such a large hole in the top tho, as i have now made this alot smaller it doesnt need to be this big and with it being smaller makes sealing a removable lid easier


a closer pic you should be able to make out the tube that would have the return hose fixed to which is at the front of the pot returning the fuel to the side and at an angle to create swirl.the cradle holding a fuel pump, and the small tube coming in from the side is the original gtm pickup re shaped to guide the fuel pump wires towards the pump also the walls are a bit higher than the origianly posted inch, but the pot does stick out the bottom of the tank about this amount. Bulkhead fittings were used to get the fuel lines into the tank etc.

Phil,
I had another thought, can't you use the MR2 engine bay vent in the rear wing and put the oil cooler next to that

Good idea on the oil cooler, but i've now scrapped the Toyota, and wouldn't want to cut the rear wing really. I've just re-appropriated some Cobra clips so should be able to keep everything tidy in the tunnel - seeing as i'll be getting rid of the existing gearchange altogether.

The wiring doesn't go down the tunnel, it goes down both sills

Does anyone know how oil cooler thermostats work? I've got 2 in my lines and they both have an electrical connection to them???? - i've no previous experience of them.

I've got a sump for the tank being made up - 4"x3"x2" deep. I need to make a flat area on the top of the tank, then the pump and the sender drop in from the top and dangle in space - seemingly a lot simpler than a full in-tank install like west's.
