I just did my 98 z28 I cut with a grinder Only a 1/4 inch deep to make sure I didnt hit the tank, The middle section between the two groves is where I cut, Then went and got a piece of flat metal and siliconed it on, Looks professional, I did the walbro 255 pump, One of the lines was a bitch to disconnect but I got it, I can get pics if you want me too,

This tool worked best for me. You can cut in nearly a perfect straight line with this tool compared to a power nibbler that walks and vibrates the metal too much over the tank and wiring underneath.

Drill a small hole to start and then cut. A thin band of sheet metal rolls up ahead of the tool as you squeeze the handle and push the tool forward cutting the metal. A slick tool indeed for thin sheet metal or aluminum.

I got mine at Harbor Freight - but it's since been discontinued. You might try this site or any very large tool supply house.

Here is additional information Racetronix sent me not included with instructions in my kit.

************************************************** ***

Please take the time to look at the wiring on the car before you start the installation. It should all become very clear to you. The connectors on the Racetronix harness are unique to the sending unit only. Everything plugs in and ALL the power terminals are labeled.


Mount the relay and spiked chassis ground lug in front of the DS rear tire using the factory bolt as shown in here: http://www.racetronix.com/product/RX.../Dcp_1169a.jpg

Clean mating the surface and the bolt with a wire brush to expose clean metal and apply a generous amount of silicone grease supplied to prevent corrosion. Plug the harness into the chassis and the fuel module into the Racetronix harness. Insert the connector locks (F98=red, F99+=blue). Route the harness along with the fuel lines under the car. Secure the harness every 12" with the supplied wire ties. The harness power source may be hooked to the alternator's + output (best) or the + battery terminal. (If you chose to use the battery as a power source run the harness over the top of the transmission housing and up the PS inner front fender well) Route the harness such that it does not rub on any sharp surfaces or come to close to any hot exhaust pipes. Mount the fuse holder with the supplied self tapping SS screw in a location where access is possible if required. Hook the harness + power to the alternator output stud OR the battery + terminal using the supplied brass battery. The factory battery nuts are removed by pressing them out from behind the terminal boots.

Install the body ground upgrade cable. One end hooks up to battery - and the other end to chassis ground. The screw on top of the battery nut is considered the accessory tap. These are installed after the nuts are secured to the battery.

The extra connector set included with the system is to interface a pump booster if required. The mating connector on the harness is located just after the relay.
