My tank, OEM from a 1990 NA donor, was 1-7/8". I thought they were all that way, but maybe not.

They do not have them in stock and they are 1-2 months out. I have checked around everywhere and they seem to be the only place that makes a fuel safe reducer. The other option is to use a piece of exhaust pipe and have that necked up or down to fit correctly. |

Muffler shop seems the way to go. They might be able to do a small bend too with the sizing if needed..

When I was at that stage I looked and looked for alternatives to validate their pricing, and didn't find anyone else who carried those types of specialty parts. |

TheStig, there is a source for these reducers... just not locally. I ordered both reducer and 2" flex hose from the UK. www.carbuildersolutions.com/uk/ Worked well for my build, shipping was surprisingly fast! |

Finished up the cover, looks pretty good (need to get all black bolts). I cracked a corner off, but not the end of the world. Thanks Jon for the dimensions! I'll be doing turbo install tomorrow. Looking forward to it.  |

How did you end up mounting the plexiglass windshield?

Well started off with a new TV setup for the garage:  The idea is to install these first  But first a drink  Installed the new injector clips  Removed crap I don't need  I already tapped the oil pan when I had the motor out so I just put on the barbed hose adapter. I realized I went hog wild with the sealant when installing the oil pan.  Tomorrow I tackle this 
damn packing peanuts  |

Got the following done today:
turbo mounted
oil lines ran
water lines ran
IC pipes ran
I found that the Mishimoto NA radiator, coolant reroute, and intercooler pipes don't work together. I have just purchased a new radiator that allows for the coolant inlet to be moved to the passenger most side. That should solve my issues. I have a custom dash on the way too, more to come on that next week.

Dash is in. Thanks again to Jon for the idea. TAP Plastics is right down the road from my house. I stopped in there with a few drawings. I had them create a dash with cut outs for my dash display and 3 gauges. The long piece goes on right side of the steering wheel, the short piece goes on the left. The digital dash opening is the perfect size.  |
