Let me shed some light.
With high pressure EFI setups, the regulator returns excess fuel from the rail to the tank via the regulator. It dribbles out enough fuel to keep the pressure at the set point of the regulator.
It's also OK to loop one rail into the other and supply one and return fuel through the reg through the second. But the end goal is fuel is always flowing past the injectors, and they can inject what's commanded, and the excess is passed on down the line to the regulator and back to the tank.
Later model OEM systems "dead head" into the rails with the regulator upstream, and some even modulate the pump rather than bypass, but the fool proof ideal is as drawn above.

You basically just put a panel to act as the floor for the front area?
Exactly,what a difference in strength and finished it off nice.
Lol was going in house to replace one and got side tracked,decided to do wiring instead
OR maybe part of the ejecto seato lol
3/4 hubcentric adapters in front,1/4 spacer rear.
SLC56-front calipers
DPC56-rear calipers
Im making a removable panel in the top aluminum cover for access to fuse block&relays. Will be water tight. I wanted as far out of way as possible to allow more room for heat/defrost&ac ductwork etc

That sounds too sensible. Will the spider give you adequate access? I was thinking about putting it on the front of that panel with a water replant plexy cover. OEM's put the bigger half of their fuses under the hood.
Thanks. Glad to have you blazing the path ahead of me. When I built my Cobra, I had 2 guys who were 1 year and 18 months ahead of me. It helped because if I asked a question, it was still somewhat fresh in their mind. One guy who was finished sent me a thumb drive with hundreds of pics he took along the way.
I'll be putting the ECU behind the seat or maybe beside the door. One universal complaint with the megasquirt is the case and connectors are not water tight. But at the same time, it's easier to link the computer to when driving.

the section in red will be permanently mounted for spider.the section in blue will be removable for full access to fusebox,relays etc. going to put a seal around the removable panel that when it’s mounted seal compresses for watertight fit. thats though with comp,really limits you.can even mount in footwell and do same type of removable cover,it opens up a lot more real estate to mount compondnts out of the way and hidden.
