You got lucky. My clamps are already flush with the end of the second leaf. So I need to cut them about an inch behind the clamp.
I cut both sides of the clamp so the leaf would sag. Once I went to start grinding on the leaf, the compressor blew one of the pvc pipes off so now I don't have any air..
I'm going to take the truck home and pick up my small 30 gallon compressor and bring it down to the shop. Probably wont get to work on it for another couple days. It will give me some time to put together a parts list for my fuel system.

I didn't reclamp my middle spring...wouldn't be too hard to make a OEM style clamp with a hole drilled in the bottom and weld it to the cut middle spring, that's what I plan on doing eventually. When you install the new buckets and tank, and you going to do a dual walbro 450 or is that farther down the road?

Sweet! Hopefully I'll beat you to the build thread
still trying to figure out all the pieces I need for mine, but for now I'll only be doing a single 450. Once the feed line gets into the engine bay, I want to Y it under the Hi-ram, connect to the front of each rail, and then have the rear rails enter each inlet of my A1000 FPR...I just don't know if there will be enough room between the alternator and drivers side rail to run that setup...

I'm doing it similar but entering from the rear of the rails. Then coming out 90* from the front to my regulator. I ordered an earl fitting that will help with the alternator clearance on the drivers side. Its damn expensive but it already has the -8AN oring male built on it so its super compact.

Yea that should work...I hope. Ive been trying to find Hi-ram fuel system pictures that would be helpful. Talk about expensive, check out this aeromotive -8AN X 3 Y-fitting!! http://www.summitracing.com/parts/aei-15674/overview/ Yikes

Hasn't failed me yet. But looking at the fitting closer, it doesn't look like a swivel fitting... So I might have to send it back when it gets here monday. I'll let you guys know though.No I'm going to get rid of all the stock lines, plastic holders, filter, ect. I'm going to run -6 braided line back to the tank.
