I imagine you\'d either have to rivet it, or use one of those special rivet guns that allows you to put in threaded \'rivets\'

I originally put mine on the bulkhead, between the map sensor and the abs unit. There\'s a little tab with a predrilled hole you can use. The pressure gauge won\'t fit on in that location. Now I\'ve gone single I\'ve mounted it on the front of the UIM.

Fuel pressure regulator;) mounted mine under the ABS unit, bit hard to see the gauge, mounting on the UIM / end of the fuel rail would look cool [bit more bling:Giggle ]

Interesting, any pics of this, I\'m thinking from a pipe point of view that one the bulkhead where the pipes come through is going to be easyiest.

It really should be as close to the end of the rail as possible, but there is no reason why you couldn\'t mount it anywhere.

You thought about mounting it in front of the UIM?

Not forgotten but just to confirm it has to go between the secondary rail and the return pipe to the tank?

That one does have the return plumbed in underneath, you just can\'t see it in that pic. He\'s using both side ports as he runs his fuel rails in parallel rather than in series.
