I can't believe that I spent all day running a couple of fuel lines but I did.  Not much to say here but here are some pictures.

 These two pictures show a problem that I had with where the fuel line was designed to go.  It hit the gear leg weldment.  This was too close for me to jiggle around it so instead I routed the fuel line in the top hole instead of the bottom.  

The fuel selector value.

Fuel line where it routes out the side skin.

These are shots of the vent line routings.

This is the contents of the high pressure fuel kit from Van's. 

The first step is to modify the original center cover.  Then you assemble this new larger, heavier and more robust cover.  I managed to get the cover riveted where required and I also got all the plate nuts installed.

I finished up the assembly of the Airflow Performance electric fuel pump.  This is a high pressure electric pump and is required as backup to the engine driven pump.

This is the fuel pump and the filter attached to the bottom bracket. There's not a lot to say about these.  Just following directions and bending aluminum tubing to fit.

Here's a shot of all the lines ran. 

Then with the fuel valve / tank selector hooked up.  Notice the tee fitting in the middle.  That's in case the filter clogs up on you, it will bypass the filter.

My dad was a pipe fitter by trade and I'll have to get him to come visit to provide the final inspection. 

Just a shot from the other side.  Looks good to me.  All that's remaining is running a single line out the front to attach to the engine.
