Preparing the forward tunnel coverTimer icon3h

January 13, 2026

Today I worked a bit on the forward tunnel cover.

Since I am planning to install an electronic fuel injection system, I am modifying the forward tunnel cover for an EFI kit. Based on my research, SDS EFI fuel pumps should fit inside of it, with a specific arrangement of fuel valve fittings.

Here I am boring the hole to fit the fuel valve to its cover plate.

Fuel valve temporarily fastened to the cover plate.

In order to align the holes, I created a simple jig from scrap angle stock.

The cover is fully drilled and clecoed together.
