G'day Gazza, fuel pump was an epay special , the install kit i bought from EFI Hardware in Melbourne, they have loads of different kits and would be able to help you out - measure the depth of your tank and order one to suit. This one is 4 bar pressure but they have 3 bar ones and adjustable ones too.

Be careful , pretty easy to spend too much there !!!

Got a bit done today , did a quick 150k round trip to pick up a set of HQ calipers this morning then spent the day test fitting them and playing around with steering arms and spindles etc. Got that all sorted , ended up with HQ spindles, power steering arms and rotors, appears to be 10mm wider per side than HR discs by my calculations, didn't think to measure how much lower but will do next time I am in the shed and think of it.
Once that was sorted I painted all those bits then bench bled the master cylinder, mounted it up and made all the brake lines , just need to clamp them up and they are done.

Very cool mate.
When you say hq arms is that the rack arms or the arms that bolt behind the disk backing plate.
Did you end up trying the h-ktg brakes and drop spindles combos or straight to hq gear.

HQ steering arms that bolt to the bottom of the spindles - I tried the drop spindles and P76 rotors and VT calipers , they all fit but I don't think I need them so will save that for the 2 door if I ever get back around to it ....

Am making one from scratch, have been on site for pretty much the last month, have drawn one up and will put it together when I get some time off - that's why there has been no progress on the car lately.
