I love making/ designing parts! I think it’s my favorite part of this strange hobby. 

This is a zero hole in my car EFI FPR mount. Next I will have it cnc cut. This is just 3D printed. Draw, design, test and make. So much fun. 

I really like how simple this radium fuel pressure regulator is. Uses a Bosch top. Very well thought out.

Art and function done well . I still admire your skills . It’s hard to watch without being envious of your meticulousness . Fortunately I have a friend with a mill that can make me precision , because I’m more the ‘get er done’ guy .

I sometimes think the meticulous is my actual hobby:)

It's a nice looking piece, why hide it?

Well, hide it and mount it cleanly is the plan, down low near the transmission or something?  

It'll stay cleaner the higher its mounted. Shorter tubing is probably better from a functionality aspect, too

Vac hoses have to be equal length. That’s about it. It’s an odd shape, but I want to use it since it’s cool and vintage.

Next hurdle is a hidden vacuum log for my ITB. My SK one is proving too hard to hide. 
 

My plans for a billet clamp won’t work with the stock hardware. But a simple cushion clamp should do the trick. Next is welding 3x 1/4 hose barbs onto my 5/8 OD aluminum pipe. It’s been threaded to -6 orb on each end. With the plan to use iac at some point.
