Won't work because the carby fuel pump is mechanical and mounted on the old xf engine

Do you have carb or efi?

Thanks, I'll go ahead with the external pump

Hey guys, Working on a barra swapped Xf I'm going to use an external inline fuel pump - the EFI fuel tanks seem to be pretty rare to find Has anyone used an external pump with the carb tank and where did you mount it? Is it as simple as plumbing the pump to the fuel delivery line - Does it use siphon and gravity to feed the pump? Thanks!

Hello all, According to the Xf Manual, these are the colours for the ignition switch [EARTH] BLACK [POWER] YELLOW [STARTER] RED/BLUE [IGNITION] RED/GREEN [ACCESSORY] BLACK/GREEN [BRAKE FAIL] VIOLET/WHITE My wire colours don't match up to these. Why is this? Cheers

I'll go with the epoxy primer then. Thanks everyone Happy new year's eve

I'm planning on using spray cans since I don't have access to a compressor in my little garage Maybe I could use this epoxy spray? a bit pricey though: https://vgautopaints.com.au/collections/primers/products/eastwood-2k-aerospray-epoxy-primer-gray-aerosol If I went with the etch primer, how do you "blend" the bare metal to the existing paint since the etch primer cant touch the existing paint? or is a little bit of overspray ok

So strip it all down to bare metal? sounds fun haha Should I apply etch primer and then primer surfacer right

Engine is out

Hey everyone, Trying to make the engine bay pretty over the holidays and I've come across small rust spots throughout. Is it best to just strip it all back to bare metal and start again? Or treat the spots with rust converter/etch primer individually and then paint it all? Thanks!

Thanks for that, I'll look into the wreckers

Hey guys, I've got an Automatic Xf that I've put T5 into. Found it near impossible to find manual pedal box from wreckers. What's the best solution for the pedal box or are there any products that have worked for you? Not a huge fan of going hydraulic setup because of the price Thanks

thanks

Just some small rust sections in the engine bay Engines out at the moment, you could say its getting a bit of a makeover

Hey yall, Looking at touching up the paint in the engine bay It's an Olympic Gold Xf (colour code W) Wondering if anyone knows which paint to use for that? Cheers
