[Shotimes] I uploaded fuel pump cutaway writeup

[Ian Fisher]

Yes, your 95 is beautiful. I remember seeing it and
meeting you at a combined LSHOC/MASHOC meet and then
seeing it again at the Maryland convention.

I plan on getting/fabbing a trap door but it's one of
those things on the "to do list". Right now I have it
sealed up with silcone and held in place with zip ties
(I only cut out 3 sides of the door, not the entire
thing so I can fold it back over like a flap)
