I've spoke to three people when ive rang previously, pete, nicki and another guy, Ive rang his mobile this morning he text me back saying he's gonna get all my tanks done in one go,hopefully this week.
With the prices im getting for a one off compression spring ive come to the conclusion im gonna have to mod my throttle bracket, that'll be a job for the weekend.

no regs for a road car martin![Wink](https://passionford.com/forum/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif)
tbh martin ive only drove the car about 500 miles home from when I bought it four years ago,and it went well,i have a rolling road print out from the previous owner showing the car done 352bhp at the time.
I didn't want the restrictor on martin thats why I bought another housing but looks like im stuck with it for now until I decide to upgrate it.

well I spent some time on the car today and tbh I wish I hadn't bothered.
fitted the fuel tank today what a bastard of a job,off course it not a straight forward fit.
I had to bend part of it up to get the strap on which took off some of the paint and yes I scratched it while removing it for the third time![Wall](https://passionford.com/forum/images/smilies/wall.gif)

Fuel tanks on sierras can be a nightmare to fit. At the back where the bolt goes into the captive nut, I bent the mount down and put a long bolt in. I found it miles easier to tighten the strap up.

off the top of my head:
brake line from front to rear
-6 fuel lines
fuel pump
-6 power steering hose
rocker cover back on
header and breather tank
discs and calipers front and rear need put on
harness pulled through bulkhead and connected
rs500 upper and lower spoilers need put on.
not a lot in the grand scheme of things and not a lot more money to spend.i want to order all my my fittings for the hoses all together but with spec r holding me up I cant do certain jobs.
I got through to pete last week and ive got to give him a nudge tomorrow,hes been very busy and I keep getting pushed to the back of the que.
