Hey guys I'm about to install my walbro 450, and I don't want to use the stock wiring since I put together my own rewire kit.
I had a 255 in there when I bought the car and I never even drove it before I realized I wanted more. I took it apart today and saw all they did was basically use everything stock they could, just adding the minimal. No biggie. But I would rather upgrade as much of the wiring as I could. I see some people saying they're going to remove the stock wiring and run their own through a gromet in the hanger? Is this safe? Doesn't a gromet leave an opening and aren't these hangers supposed to be sealed on the tank?
Or does everyone use the stock wiring that goes through the hanger, like in the pic is my 255 with the negative going to a nut (ground) on the hanger, and the positive soldered to the stock positive wire. Should I just replicate this with the red and black wire on the male connector in the 450 install kit I got? See pic 3.. Obviously removing the 255 connector first..
Could anyone that has any info give me a clue? Thanks guys
