I know i said i woudlnt get much done in the week or so that my parents were around, but i couldnt help myself. After gardening one day i ducked out to the garage and fitted up the rear stubaxles. Its a pretty easy process, simply regrease them and pop them into the carrier, then pop the driveshaft flange on the other end and the appropriate washers and start to tighten. I used my slide hammer plate so that i could stand it up in the vice to tighten against:

Once its tightened just stake the stub axle nut so it cant come undone:

Pretty easy all in all.
With that out of the way i turned to the fuel pump. Now the old Bosch unit had to go, because i had no idea of the details about it and even whether it worked. Gav and i both got Walbro GSS 342s to install.
Pretty piddling to fit to the bracket:

But the stock Walbro GSS342 pickup filter is at a very awkward angle, and fouls on the bottom of the tank:

I know others have cut the pick up and made it fit, but luckily the pickup from the Bosch pump was a direct fit on, and popped on easily.

Add one hose clamp and its all done. I ended up repinning the existing wiring into the Walbro plug and voila, one completed fuel pump.
In addition while i was gardening yesterday the nice postie came around with this:

Fresh black auto carpet from Knox.
Plus as a birthday present to myself i picked up a set of AVS Model 6s replete with Adrenalines RE01s.

The list of things to do is rapidly diminishing.
