long title, lol...wicked part...
I'm cheap..I make the best things I can from what I have available...
I picked up a no-name Adjustable FPR cloned from the AEM...it uses barbs Vs. being rail mounted. (I assume for universicality..)..I figure my stock FPR doesn't flow that great even when left unhooked..My solution to the problem of mounting this and deleting the stock FPR is such..
- 2-1/2" Round stock turned down to the OD across the stock FPR flange
-- Flange being roughly the same thickness as the stock one @ round .140"
-- A 1" long barb turned down to .375 with .400" rings
-- A Fuel Rail Nipple is .430" and about 9/32" long
-- Drill a 5/16" hole through the center of it...
-- A ridge taken down to .350 for the O-Ring slightly less then an 1/8" from the end
-- 2 lines scribed, across the whole piece, tangent to the nipple for bolt holes
-- Milled the flange to a round ended rectangle roughly 1.125" , 3/8 on each side measured from the exterior of the base of the nipple..which was tapered down to ensure no ridge(flush mounting)
-- 5/16" Bolt holes drilled close to the center and hacksaw/filed open.
What you end up with is this:
