Will do that I think, it will only be a bracket and some wires and some pipe which I'm going to replace any way.

Nice one

I've got mine in the engine bay underneath where the original airbox was.
Once the fuel is up to the pump, it works fine... but if you leave it for a while the fuel drains back to the tank and it takes a while to start.
I think I will put a 1 way valve somewhere in the fuel line.
Although, we did the same setup on Russ' SJ and that works absolutely fine.
Might be to do with my fuel return hose not being connected though...
