I want to modify a fuel rail to fit different injectors on my chim.

I was kindly donnated a rail from a 4.0 Disco I believe.

It seems to have a vacum pickup. Can I use this rail and just forget the vacum pickup?

My existing rail

New 4.0 Disco rail.

Disco different view.

Just swap the pressure reg with the old one (2 bolts) and carry on using you're adjustable reg

Checked last night, you're right Simon. I can bin the tin thing and bolt on the brass pickup that is a push fit in the end of my original rail.

I will have to lengthen one of the pipes to the adjustable regulator but that should be fine.

As t o injectors, I will use a set of Mini Cooper ones as these deliver 330cls.
They are a little shorter hence the modifications required!
