Actually I'm wondering if you used any of that extruded fuel rail or if it is a design of your own creation. I'd had plans to change my rail and Dave sent me his old rails to work with, but now I've changed my mind again. I do have an idea that would use a piece of the extruded rail. Someone on the list had a piece to sell, so I'm thinking about it. Maybe I'll just collect fuel rails. Seems that everybody is collecting something:-) 
 
I used one of the extruded rails that fit my TB's.  It already had the holes bored for the injectors, as well as threaded ends for the fittings.  Of course it was too short to fit between the secondary holes on the manifold.  What I did was cut it in half, which leaves about a half inch hole.  I got some half inch OD, .065 tubing from Spruce, and welded it between the two halves to make it the proper distance.  I used 1/8" aluminum for the rail mount, which attaches with two of the intake bolts.   
 
    You sent a link to your model once before but I don't remember what it looks like. Can you send it again? After looking at the Jetson version (really cool... if it ever works), I'm curious again about yours. 
 
There aren't a lot of great pictures online, but here's a web page with some interesting stuff.

    Since you've brought up hockey. With all the Florida residents on the list there must be some Tampa Bay Lightning fans amongst you?  
 
We have a hockey team?  Why :-)
