DIY carrera fuel rails
I had posted pics of how I welded up OldTs old carrera 3.2 intake. Well, heres step 2 of the project. I needed fuel rails. So I bought some aluminum extrusion and spent a few hours on the mill. Machined pockets for the injs, counterbored holes for the mounting ears, and made mounting ears. The trickiest part was machining the correct MS 16142/SAE J1926 pockets on the rails to hold o-ringed straight AN6 fittings (I broke down and spent some money on the proper form cutter instead of making my own - don't want to risk a leak there...)
BTW, I'll buy nickel o-ring fittings (or strip the blue anodize off these.) Trying to go more au-natural w/ black and natural aluminum fittings and black aeroquip socketless hose. Will probably beadblast the rails to make them match the manifold a little more. Trying to hide the bling... Edit: Names changed to protect the innocent (actually it was my short term memory that screwed up who I got the manifold from)
