<html><head><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"></head><body style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; line-break: after-white-space;" class="">Today I was able to get under the Fastback with good light and I found the leaks and fortunately it was not the tank leaking. I temporarily replaced some hose and stopped the leaks. Not sure it the hose is correct! Also found the car had the incorrect filter installed in a jury rigged manner. I need the following; The fuel hose F/FI 1971 Fastback, enough to do the entire car; The rubber mount for the FI Fuel Pump; The simple FI Fuel Primer K;it F/ MT cars; and a set of Louver Covers. I believe that comes to $88.00 plus shipping and the PayPal Charge.<div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">I also need the Fan Switch that goes on the dash left of the steering wheel above the emergency and headlight switches. I need a knob for the seat back release. If you have these parts let me know the full price for all including the above items in paragraph one and I will send it with PayPal. Also need the correct fuel filter for this car if you have it! </div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">The speedometer started working today, we will see what happens. If it quits again I will send it and the clock to you as the clock stopped sometime ago. Appreciate your advice and help!</div><div class=""><br class=""><div class="">
