Since that last post i havnt really had much time to get anything done, did a bit of interior refitment the other day, but other than that not much until tonight. What i have been doing though is trying to sort out this fuel filter leak, and tonight i just cracked it entirely and pulled all of it out and rejigged it.
At the back of the car i pulled the fuel filter and remade a basic straight hose between the two flare fittings, and to do that i scavenged fittings off the old engine bay rail and the existing one that i had the banjo attached to.
After some jigging around that was done and dusted, and no leaks, and it was onto the front of the car.
With the fuel filter removed from the back i had to find a place to put it up front, and i figured i may as well connect it to the existing inverted flare fitting on the end of the fuel hard line (which normally connects to a soft line on our ADM cars).
What i found was that there were a couple of captive nuts, in EXACTLY the right spot for a fuel filter, and exactly far enough apart for my AE92 (and others) fuel filter to be attached to:

And for an idea of where it sits in the engine bay:

Just needed the line to be bent slightly, maybe 10-15 deg, and it sat beautifully.
A really good solution in the end, as it fits perfectly. With that in place i crossed my fingers and fired up the car. After a bit of revving, settling down, and fiddling with the idle screw it idled nicely at 1000rpm. Which is about 1300rpm on the analog dash, due to the 4cyl tacho installed.
With that done there really isnt much left to do, as i picked up some wheel nuts the other day too.
Off the top of my head i need to reinstall the radiator, brake bleed, finish refitting the interior, an exhaust secondaries gasket, a good wash, and a wheel alignment, and she should be all chipper 🙂
