    3.5 flapper fuel press reg substitution

    Anyone replaced their 3.5 flapper fuel press regulator lately .
    Appears the original parts no longer available and the later one used on the hotwire models is the replacement .
    Problem here is that the hotwire ones insert into the fuel rail whereas the flapper ones dont .
    Some custom work required here I think to use as a replacement .

    You can purchase an aftermarket adjustable reg, some come with pressure gauges:

    NEW Universal Adjustable Fuel Pressure Regulator Turbo | eBay

    or no gauge:

    ~ NEW EFI ADJUSTABLE FUEL PRESSURE REGULATOR PK6EG ~ | eBay

    They just fit into a rubber return line, use the same vacuum connection as OEM reg.

    I've got one sitting here if you want it. It came with the tank and lines I just put in for the upgrade to the 3.9 I am doing, so it will only end up in the bin I would think. Not sure of its condition, but you are welcome to it if you want.

    PM me you details if you are interested.

    Cheers - Gav
