12:05 Garage- ’70 Duster build

For those following along, you have likely figured out I'm all about economical solutions. I decided not to use the factory fuel rails because they are designed for a dead head system, not return style. And they are ugly. There are some commercially available rails for $300+, but how hard could it be to make them? I sourced 3' of fuel rail extrusion for $33 and some weld on 6AN bungs for $13. So for $46 and a little bit of time, I now have custom fuel rails. The last thing to do is weld a hold down bracket on them and they are done.

Did you mill those clearances into them, or do it by hand? Nice job!

I've never looked at the aftermarket rails that are available, but I assume they delete the clips on the top of the injectors like you did? Guessing they are more of an assembly function than a safety function.
