Hello all,
Is it me, or do Tamiya have one of the fuel injector ports on the M23 round the wrong way?. Looks very strange in the instructions
Tamiya 1/20th M23

I expect that you are talking about step 4 in the instructions. That configuration is correct for the M23.

Hi
Mclaren did that to clear the fiberglass cowling. I guess it was in an effort to streamline as much the rear section of the airbox. I've also seen small cutouts to clear the injectors when they are in a more standard setup. (may be it was a restored car, not sure 100%)
It is a small detail but definitely typical to the M23.

Re: Tamiya 1/20th M23
The lines for the two rear injectors come straight from the pump, up the center line of the engine. The other injectors are the standard DFV routing. The only photo's I have are from the TVF1 M23 CD. Paul holds the copyright to them, so I can't post any.How do I run the fuel lines, any pictures. Please
