can use the rover rail modified to take a fiesta turbo fuel pressure regulator, the modificaction is only a case of drilling and tapping 2 new mounting holes for the FPR.

The 2 new mounting holes can be seen in the photo below



all assembled it looks just like this

the manifold is the one thats fitted to the rover 620i and 420i, non the turbo model rovers, there was about 3 or 4 of them in our local breakers at the time so i grabbed them and sold em on ebay for a tidy sum
