Re: Mark's 51 Build

Need some help choosing a fuel pump/sending unit.
I purchased an s10 fuel tank (1999-2002 model as joedoh suggested, and it fit nicely).
My question is the stock or factory fuel pump assembly is a plastic housing with plastic line fittings, of course. I'm wondering if I could source a metal assembly rather than plastic. I know the factory unit is plastic and there are millions in use but the factory fuel lines seem somewhat lighter in weight than what I will have to build with fittings and somewhat bulkier hose etc., so I'm wondering about the strain that may put on plastic fittings. I believe the lock ring is a tr 14.
For what its worth I'm still chipping away at my project. Rebuilding the front suspension now, I believe ordering and installing the entire brake system is next. I'll get some pictures up one of these days.
