G'Day Lynn,

The original fuel filter looks OK on outside, but it's knackered inside. All corroded to buggery. It will be replaced with a modern version of similar size with glass viewing bowl. Though I want a better 'modern' version, I wanted to retain the original look, so the 'dummy' original one will be put in the correct spot, at rear of battery box, and the new one will be hidden on inside of chassis rail, where it can't be seen unless you get underneath and look up. The fuel lines to/from the original filter won't actually be attached to anything, but will route away out of sight where they will end.

Of course, if I do all this and aren't happy with the effect.....i'll do a re-think & probably cough up for a correct replacement. I think it should work though. Not really a fan of 'smoke & mirrors' but this will give best of both worlds!
