Simple, you dont cut a hole, you do it the right way.

Re: Does anyone?

I'm working on a 67 firebird now and am using TPI/700R4. I used Rock Valley in tank fuel pump system and while I was installing it, I made a hole with access plate in the trunk. A little seam sealer and trunk mat, It's great, no more dropping tank.

Re: Does anyone?

the "right way" is the way that this guy wants to do it. i replaced my fuel pump and sender by cutting the hole on the rear deck over a year ago and guess what... no problems, no leaks, drips, or anything. i used an air grinder with a cut off wheel and plenty of water to make the cut then a small tubing cutter for the lines. after that pulled the sender and pump out, replaced the parts and used good rubber fuel hoses and clamps to reattach the metal lines.


just because it may seem like a hack job doesn't mean it is. besides, if you put a piece of sheet metal over the hole and rivet it back into place its like good as new then if you have to go back in there for whatever reason "like a high volume fuel pump" you can have it installed in no time. just my 2 cents worth but there are sometimes "2 right ways" of doing the same job.

Re: Does anyone?

I agree with you Anything-z, but some people just dont realize its not their car. But lets not start another argument like the other posts of this have been. lol Well i did a little research and did my own cutting with a dotco. I did everthing as professional as possible. pics will be up tom.
