So a GT6 MKIII with O/D and a 3.89 should be just fine to stick with but what if the engine is a 2500 cc ?

I have used this with great result http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/370353706411?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

Been up to my neck sorting my car trailer so that I could collect my early Mk1 saloon yesterday after major body surgery (dance) Ted Thanks for your reply to my pm Ted I it looks like you have been really hard at at  :) As you have explained to me  in your pm to me part of it is below which I am sure you are okay with putting on here as it seems you have been bombarded with interest in your three sets since you posed to my thread. :o [i have three sets:] [an early set which i am keeping for spares for the mk1 pi estate.] [a set from a very rusty 45000 mile 1974 estate but the mechanics were ok.]   [a set from a 35000 mile saloon - an extremely nice set which worked fine (i had the engine running perfectly with them on) but really want to keep] [them as swapping fodder against a set of triple 40 webers which i want to put on my early mk1 2000 saloon.] I must have misunderstood your original post on this thread. Original Quote [yes i am about to list some of my spare stuff soon - seem to have accumulated more or less three sets!] So I guess I will just have to keep looking out for the Pi parts I am short of and watch out for any parts you might put  on ebay :)  but thanks for your pm Ted ;) Hugh

I use a lifter pump to fill a swirl pot with fuel to avoid 'slosh' leadding to air in the fuel lines.  That pump doesn't pressurise the main pump and the pot is mounted less than six inches above my Bosch. John I think it was Andy Thompson who told me a lifter pump would help the Lucas one but its was sometime ago and I could be mistaken. Hugh

thescrapman wrote:Alec I think the helper pump is because the car is a GT6, so you can not get the required "head" of fuel as you would be able to in a TR6 or PI saloon. I would still buy one of Malcolms PRV's and perhaps disguise it somehow. The originals are just a pain to adjust. Cheers Colin Hi Colin yes well spotted its for a GT6 I should have said that at the start I will look at Malcolms PRV'S thanks Hugh

piman wrote:Hello Hugh, I'm not sure if my pump theory is 100% but won't feeding the Lucas pump at 40 psi also increase the final output pressure thus overloading the pressure relief valve, i.e adding approximately 40 psi to the Lucas pump output? Alec Hi Alec I should have put it lifter pump with with 40psi  because it was a GT6 as Colin has  :-/ Hugh

piman wrote:Hello Hugh, "I am using a pump in tank to supplement the Lucas pump" That is not necessary, as long as your pump is in good condition. The best thing to do is to fit a relay to feed the pump, with heavy cable for the power side of the circuit, the extra voltage makes a big difference to the pump performance and reduces pump overheating. Alec Hi Alec I have heavy cable and a relay and I still think the tank in pump route is necessary as it will reduce the work load of the recondition Lucas punp as it the fuel will be at 40psi before it gets to the Lucas pump which can only help the work load of it.

You can pick up the pipe kits quite cheaply off eBay (James Shackford) or you could just use the truck air brake line that I've been using for years - can be had in black, red or clear. Thanks Jason for the info on the truck air brake line option sounds good. I am after any pipe kit parts and ebay has been a washout for me a few times but I will continue to watch out for parts on there. ;) Hugh

Richard_B wrote:You can buy unions and custom flexible hoses from "Think Automotive" in Isleworth. Then with one of the good Pipe Flearing kits you can make up the solid pipes to fit your car / installation. Malcolm at Prestige is also very good for supplying PI specific parts Many thanks for the info Richard I will keep the option of Prestige as a backup if I fail to find OEM parts. :) Hugh

JohnD wrote:And Malcolm has developed his own modern replacement foir this ancient, and difficult to adjust, part. http://www.prestigeinjection.net/pumps.htm John Thanks John for the link I am planning to use all original parts on my car including a reconditioned Lucas pump. I am using a pump in tank to supplement the Lucas pump. I will though keep the option of using the mordern replacement as a back up :) Hugh

piman wrote:Hello Hughbert, I presume you have tried E-Bay as there is often P.I. parts for sale there. Prestige injection do an improved valve if you are interested. Alec Thank you Alex for you advice I have tried ebay with no real luck I bought a couple of pipes and when I got them one had a fine split in it and the other one had a very bad kink in it at some time and could not be used. I have not seen any other pipe parts on ebay for a while now. :) Hugh

Hi there can anyone help me out I am after a TR6 fuel injection pressure relief valve assembly and any fuel pipes I am willing to pay for them of course if some one has any of these parts can you please pm me.
