Speaking of fuel pumps, I know this is way overkill but you must admit it's a pretty clean/cool setup:

But will it fit in the Canadian mounting area? Laughing

Now I understand the comments.

Where did that happen?

I heard the story last year at the campfire, but never saw the video. I'm sure Vincent is glad so many of you jumped in to "help." Cool

Someone had to document it, right? Otherwise someone might forget years from now.

And I don't think that dual pump single filter assembly Vincent posted will fit.....

Thank John, you all got to assist to the long version of the event! I now have a short version planned out. Let's hope we don't have to re-enact that event this year!

You guys are the best.

You have to admit, I did come prepared with spares.

I started work on my seats this week. I cut all the parts and applied the foam to the appropriate pieces. I sent the headrest pieces off to the embroiderer. I was able to get the lowers done. I cannot complete the backs until I get the headrests back. Here are some photos.

I managed to get both seats from one hide. With leather this expensive you really need to optimize.

These seats are soooooo soft. Drool

Beautiful work on the upholstery - but did you get any steak from the cow? Laughing
