Heh heh. Uh, no. But you know; while I was busy polishing the intake plenum
thought I'd look into the fuel rail. LOL. Kidding. The day I ever polish an
intake plenum.....

No, today I dry mounted the early style "diesel" engine carrier arms and
started determining position and design of engine bracket to accommodate
Audi 5000 mounts and WBX engine position.

The fuel rail was just one of those things that popped into my head while
determining engine height; the intake is the high point. A "door was
opened".

"Scope creep"   ;^)
