I do like the Lim heat shield you made. I was planning on making one that mounted to the bottom but it looks pretty clean mounted from the top.

I was thinking the same but I think thats the only way to really do it with my setup. I'm gonna ask my builder about that.

They make all kinds of insulated clamps designed to separate and support the battery and fuel lines. Search this forum they have tons of battery relocation write ups and a lot of info on how other have run their aftermarket fuel lines. IMHO using zip ties to bundle all the fuel lines and battery cable to the rear brake line then covering it with the factory shield is a really terrible way to do something. You have a very nice project, that is turning out great so far. I hate to see you loose it from a builder taking a short cut like that. If they don't agree you may want to look for a new builder. Just my opinion.

I appreciate the constructive criticism. Sounds like a legit argument. My builder does excellent work. this is the only thing I don't really like as well.

Be careful with Summit fitting especially for fuel use as they tend to leak, I had to replace a bunch of them with better quality one in my MX-6.

I had Aeroquip hose, it wasn't leaking out by the hose, it was leaking out of the pin hole on the female thread side. I got maybe a dozen fittings to run my injectors in parallel on my turbo V6, and probably half of them were leaking out of the box. Some of my friends also have the same issue with Summit fitting, so we switch them out with Earl's or Russell, but as long as they don't leak out of the box they are ok.
