Thread: P38 Central today

And my thanks go to Scouse once again. Without his help (actually doing most of the work on mine), I doubt we'd have got both done.

However, we are now well versed in exactly where to cut the P38A floor to give access to the fuel pump. Mine was the experimental one so it's not quite as neat as Pete's. With Peter's, we knew exactly where to cut from measurements taken from my less than perfect job. Mine took a few experimental holes to find the right spot and was done with the tank in situ. It needs a bit of trimming which I'll do this week.

What we also found was that Pete's 2002 car has much thicker sound deadening in the rear than my 1995 mode thus requiring a much different approach to cutting the hole through the carpet and sound deadening. I'll get some pics next weekend.

The donor car will provide a section of floor to use as a cover over the cut out floor.

My P38 feels left out. Where was the invite?

Where's Carnegie?

Melbourne, so nowhere near you guys. Just joking. Looks like a very productive way of doing the work.

Pete (left) and Scouse working on fitting the pump to the Thor tank. Both the tank and the pump needed a bit of modification.

A bit late - but i posted up some time ago photos with measurements when I cut my porthole (just in case anyone else needed to do same)

Certainly would help with more guys on the job though!
