Folks,
        Finally received the Fuel Safe custom fuel cell.
Looks real good.  Fuel Safe called a couple of weeks ago
about a minor detail. Said they hoped to ship on the 12th.
Well, last thursday it still wasn't here so I called and they
said it was shipped UPS on the 12th and still in "transit".
About an hour later it arrived.  I guess you can take Fuel
Safe at their word except they did not include a FIA certification.
        Spent Friday and Saturday removing the old fuel
tanks and and fabricating a fenderwell mount for my battery.
I am using a marine battery box for the battery so I have to
have room to take the battery box top off.  At the same time
I plan to use the existing fender mounted fuel filler, plumed
to the fuel cell.  Found that the trunk lift spring had to 
go to get the clearance I needed for the 2 1/2" filler pipe
and the battery Box.  
        Mounted the fuel cell Sunday and still have to work
the 1" vent line. Got the parts tonight for that.  Still
need an AN-6 adapter hose for the fuel line.
        I am taking photos of each step so when I am done
I will be able to scan them in and provide a write up.
        The tank weighs 22.75 pounds and should hold around
20 gallons.
        I also added a complete firewall between the trunk
and the inside.
