Hi NickW21,

I started off with the fuel tank just to make sure I had a clean fuel source for my new ITB EFI set up. As it turned out, the tank was clean but I gave it a detergent wash anyway. I did a sympathetic restoration on my late uncle's 356C in 2021 and that car had sat unused for 30+ years so a tank clean, etch and reseal was absolutely necessary.

Regarding the mount brackets for the EFI power fuse block, the fuel pressure regulator and the intake vacuum plenum, I used some flat 2 inch wide 1/8 inch thick aluminum stock I had left over from another household project. I bought the aluminum flat stock at Home Depot and I used aluminum because it is light and doesn't rust. The fabrication was really simple: drill holes at the top end of the bracket to mount item to the bracket, then drill holes at the bottom end of the bracket and in the rear shock absorber mount cross brace and attach the mounting bracket to the cross brace with sheet metal screws.

Good luck with your project!
Dan
