aftermarket fuel rail questions
i just got an rx7 store (kg parts) secondary fuel rail with 1600 cc inj and an aeromotive FPR from a forum member. I'm planning on running my stock primary rail/inj.
right now everything has AN fittings, except of course the primary rail. For cost/time reasons i was thinking about switching everything over to brass hose barbs or banjo bolts. my questions are:
1. the banjo bolt adapter..what size am i looking for? and can it be purchased at autozone or napa etc?
2. do the aeromotive FPR's have a FPD built in? i would like to eliminate my stock FPD so i dont have a fire, but many people feel strongly that its needed. others say no...
3. if i chose to eliminate the FPD can the factory rail be tapped for a hose barb? or can a banjo bolt be used? if it can be tapped, will 3/8 tap work? if a banjo bolt works what size will i need and can i get that from a local parts store?

ok i read directly from aeromotive that i won't need a FPD and i saw on Banzai racings site that a 1/4" tap will work for the primary rail with a 5/16" hose barb.
information here: http://www.banzai-racing.com/pd_elimination_how-to.htm
and here : http://injector-rehab.com/kbse/fpd.htm
so that answers some questions.
Now all i really need to know is, can i connect the other side of the fuel rail to the secondary rail using a similar method with a tap and hose barb? or can i find a banjo adapter locally for the secondary rail?

Just tap it with 1/4 or 5/16 NPT and buy an adaptor to AN. Only problem is you will need 45 or 90 degree turn if you are still using the oil injectors.

or i could tap it, put a brass 45 or 90 in there and then a hose barb and use goodyear fuel injection hose. AN and stainless lines are nice, but they get pricey. fuel hose is simple, easy to work with, and doesnt rub holes in everything it vibrates against.

I believe I used 1/4 NPT to 5/16 hose barb. I would go to the local hardware store first...if you can't find them you can order from this place.
