Default Modifying returnless bucket for return

Anyone have pictures of the returnless buckets modified to run return. I'm just trying to see what your guys are doing with the regulator/filter assembly inside. Is it totally removed or are you just keeping it in there and running directly from the pump to the top of the module? I'm going to use the stock feed as my return line, and run a new -6 as the feed.

I removed everything in the bucket except for the pump.

Then from there I run my new feed to the -6 bulkhead, and then just run the stock feedback into the bucket for the return?

Gutted everything too. 2 450 TI's in a NNBS bucket up to a bulkhead. Stock feed becomes return.

Got my bucket all wrapped up. Took some pics. I'm just leaving the stock feed tube and elbow so it dumps directly into the bucket.

-6 feed. I'm almost feeling like I should have just done a 450 instead of the aero 340 in there now. But should still support my 600ish hp I'm making now.

Also messed up and ordered a 40 micron filter from summit, only realizing that that's not that much filter. I have a fuel lab 10 micron filter come tomorrow and getting everything wrapped up.

I'm in the middle of finally tackling this now... Taken me long enough to sack up and do it.
