Who's installed the Walbro 450LPH pump?
 
I'm in the midst of replacing my stock Z06 pump with the Walbro 450lph pump (going E85), and the connections were not the same so I clipped the plug and put terminal connections (spade type) on the wires and connected them that way. I secured each wire (+pos) & (-neg) to a separate pillar of the assembly to keep them far apart.

Is this how you did it?

To anyone else? is this okay? The factory connecters were also exposed electrical connections where they mated to the factory fuel pump.

If anyone has any DIY pics of their 450lph pump install, it would be much appreciated.

Also:
Anyone have any tips or recommendations on an easy way to get the metal flex crossover pipe to re-connect to the driver/tank? We eneded up breaking the connector for the two nylons lines where the tank and the crossover tube mate up. That put us at a stopping point so I could order new lines. Pushing that damn crossover tube back into the tank has been damn near impossible. I have the mufflers off the car to even make it better access, still no joy.

Any tips or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Jeff

To bump you back to the top, there was a very good write up out here on a DIY fuel pump replacement, if I find it, I'll edit my post to show the link. It had tons of pics, and a lot of useful info.
