Fitting of the adaptor couldn't be easier. when you place your order make
sure you get the correct one for your model engine. The electric metering
pump is mounted with three bolts and I believe the earlier version use two.
I made the mistake but was able to adapt the earlier mod adaptor to fit the
electric metering pump. I think if you go to Tracy's web site he has pics of
the adaptors.
For those interested I downloaded the engine, lubrication, cooling,
technical manuals from www.teamfc3s.org They are for na and turbo 13b.
Cheers
Mick
