Capri's Rx1 midmount project

[capri]

The tank comes from a SDI-model, so i have used the original SDI-pump. I have just made the same holes for the sender unit as the RX1-tank has.

No leaks from the sender unit hole ?
how did you attach the bolts on the inside ?

I have no problem with leaks, but i used silicon that stands fuel when i mounted it. For the bolts i used threads that looks like a rivet(popnit in Swedish..)

I have not been here for long, but thank you for the pics Red!. I have copied your drain line, and it works great!

I've been building my midmount setup and have a different idea for the oil drain. I don't like the idea of the drain into the engine at only about 3'' drop. When you're climbing a long steep hill the drain will be higher than the bottom of the turbo . So where's that oil going to go ? I welded a aluminum tube 3'' lower than the timing plug to give it a little extra fall. With this setup the drain line runs downhill the whole way.

Your solution looks good, but the timing plug has worked fine for me so far.
