Fuel pump and rectifier mounting

I finished mounting the CDI unit (I was waiting for M4 riv-nuts to be delivered) and also drilled some holes in the battery box so i could zip tie the solenoid to it.  I've mounted the rectifier and figured out where to mount the quick-shifter, making sure none of the wiring is going to rub on anything sharp.  I'm hoping with the regulator/rectifier only having to power the ignition it shouldn't get too hot, especially as its bolted a huge aluminium heat-sink (the subframe) if not i'll have to move it out into the airflow, at least where it is now it's safe(r) from crash damage.


I also started work on the mounting for the fuel pump, I'm planning to replace the filter with a smaller one and use a dry break connector.  The dry break is the same length as the current filter so I could swap that out but i still need to figure out how to get a filter in before the pump and that's going to move things a bit, hence why I haven't drilled any holes in the subframe yet.
