the engine bulkhead.

FUEL SYSTEM

The mechanical fuel pump was replaced with a Stewart Warner electric pump, Model No.
240A, and was mounted adjacent to the left-hand fuel tank. Aeroquip was used for all fuel lines.
Only the left-hand fuel tank was used and the right-hand tank removed. An aircraft-type,
anti-dump flapper valve was installed in the top of the tank to prevent fuel spillage if car was
inverted.

GENERAL

The car used, was a right-hand (R.H.) drive, British version. The R.H. driver location was
chosen due to the clockwise rotation of most U.S. racing circuits.
The R.H. drive aspect is important in the layout of some components and this will be
slightly altered in a left-hand (L.H.) drive vehicle. The roll cage installation should also be
modified for L.H. drive.
