It was a fcuking' nightmare mate, lots of modification and custom fitting but it does work and fit in with a lot of fannying around
Well worth spending the time and effort to fit it into the standard unit to keep things nice and tidy

And the original fuel hose being glued onto the plastic joiners at the top of the casing. It just the bottom filter thats the pain!

You have to DIY the filter / bag at the bottom as its clearly way too big, stupidly I didn't get any pics when we did mine as it took pretty much all day to do it & I was due to be down at Sandys in Cornwall @ 9am to tweak the map the following morning
The hose on the top is the simple part, just pull it off (takes a while and make sure you don't break it), then secure it onto the new pump. Also the new pump isn't secured down with the standard clips because of the pick up at the bottom being too 'proud' so you have to come up with a solution to hold the pump down as well
This is the only picture I took doing mine;

Yep completely agree mate, better to have it in-tank though than having untidy fuel lines everywhere

UPDATE:
Its been over a month sooooooo;
Box off for a check over...
And clutch cover off to be changed from the Red springs (current) to the lightest race clutch springs that Helix do to make it more driveable....
And a nice new set of lightweight wheels
p.s. check out in the background the amount of redundant wiring stripped from the interior loom!!!

Is that the clutch lever?
That's where mine cracked if so.

I guess that area is a likely area to fail, what with the massive increase in loading from the uprated clutch, must fatigue the aluminium significantly. At least the rebuild with the softer springs should help a touch.
