I do not have a link, and so far I haven't found anything online. The only thing I've seen was on facebook, Aaron Parker pointed it out to me. I sent Paul a message about it a while back, asking him when he thought they might be available to the public, but I haven't heard anything back yet.

Well, I guess I'll probably use 14ga, or maybe 12ga even, but probably 14. As long as that is big enough, I don't see the need to go any larger.

Yes, I get the wire from Joe.
I thought about just doing one 044 and modifying the stock hanger with an aftermarket connector

but I was worried it might not seal, and I decided on two pumps anyway, so I went for the CJM hanger.

OK I'm going to email them or call and ask for Joe and get some 14ga submersible and 12ga or 10ga for the outside.

What about the connectors that have heat shrink built onto it, that way you can shrink it on the end when you're finished? I figured the metal of the connector would be fine, I just wasn't sure about the plastic on the connectors, that's what I meant. Wanna sell that Viton heat shrink? lol

The things we do for our cars, right?

Ok cool. As long as the pumps will be fine, I'll do it that way and skip an external check valve. I'm also thinking about getting an inline fuel filter with a reusable/cleanable element and ditching the stock filter.

OK maybe I'll ditch these Bosch's and get a couple Stealths haha. I know it's going to be a PITA to install the Bosch pumps with the surge tank, even moreso than it is installing them on their own, but I figured once it's in there I shouldn't have to worry about it for a while.

Well that's a pretty good reason lol. I'd have done the same thing.
