Thank's to my little bro Horses45 i fitted what he bought me for my birthday!!!
They look realy nice. The only one i had a problem with was the throttle pedal as this isn't a flat plate. So i welded one on to take the alloy pedal!

Thank ya ta!!!!! 
I have been out and taken out the T piece in the fuel return and attached the leek off pipe directly to the fuel inlet banjo as vauxsqueaks(John) said his was. I'll see if it improoves the starting in the morning when she's been stood.
Thanks John!

Fitted the bull bar to the 2.5 and fitted the rear seats and wound up the front torsion bars up alittle to reduce the dragster arse in the air look. Next up wire up the front lights (fog and spots) and bleed the clutch then it should be ready for the road

Don't worry, it took two of them to get you out.
This posting may have been helpfull, on the other hand probably not... Either way, I may have had drink when posting it in which case it's probably not as helpfull as it could have been
Work safe, and remember all technical problems can be resolved with a hammer, the trick is knowing where to hit it and how big a hammer to use (I often find it may also help to have a spare bit in the shed to replace the bit you have just mullered )
Work in Progress (or not as the case may be) I give you.... 'O-no' the truck.
