To Simon's point, I think that vent line is going to fill with fuel, thus blocking the vent. What about if we come up with a cool body mod to hide it? It's 'glass right there, correct?

That's my concern as well and Yes, It's glass and as high as you can go

What would be good is if I could find one that has a top inlet, then I could keep the line up high. Time to do some internet searching

I wonder if the one I have would work the other way around? Not sure why I assumed the ports went downward

You wouldn't think something as simple as adjustable seat tracks and seat mounting would kick your ass but, for whatever reason, it sure kicked mine. I had serious brain issues, overthinking it and trying to over engineer it. In the end, I simply mounted the sliders to the seats, which required nutserts in the seat frame then 1/2" spacers for the slide release/locking mechanism to operate. Then marked and drilled through both levels of floor aluminum. Cut and drilled out the 5/16" studs that came swedged in the sliders, replace with grade 8 - 1/4" bolts, grind the side of thick flat washers so they fit in the seat track channel, tack weld the head of the 1/4" bolt to the washer so that it won't spin and you can run a lock nut up on it from underneath without having to hold the head in the seat track yet isn't welded to the seat track incase you need to remove it. I didn't want the aluminum panels to crush down on themselves when I tighten the bolts so I made 1" aluminum spacers, cut the foam/heat barrier to accept the spacers and sealed them with foil tape. Like I said, Simple.

Confirmed I have the vapor canister upside down, the tubes should be up top. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.

Chipping away at the "to do" list, A/C unit mounted

Found a spot for the Elec steering ECU. Had to cut and lengthen all the wire harness' but I think it's good to go now. Utilized the a/c bracket
