A couple of questions:
1. Fuel lines - these are bent and held in place. Any concern about breaking? I have read other places in these build logs where they are easy to break, especially at the mount to the fuel pump.
2. Fuel line out of fuel filter to engine: I tried several times to seat that metal piece into fuel filter, but that is all the far in that I can get it. Not nearly as far as in the video, so is that normal by chance? Or do I need to look at a new filter?
(BTW putting those ends on the fuel line was almost as difficult as pulling the cooling lines through the frame! Ended up using a heat gun to help - after some experimentation, only use about 3 seconds of heat gun as beyond that time makes it very easy to melt and kink the line. Yes literally count to 3-one-thousand and take the heat off, start twisting in the fuel elbow then tap the rest of the way in with a mallet)

Also on grounds. We have 2 grounds not hooked up yet. The first is the ground from the main harness - I think it goes on the front of the transmission as in this photo. Correct? If not, where?

The second ground is the one from the main harness near the fuse box. I thought I saw a picture or description somewhere saying where to put it but can't seem to find it now. Does it go here on the driver side near the rear of the transmission?

Lastly, a question on the transmission cooling lines. The video shows reconnecting the adapter below to the front of the engine, but unless we missed it, there are still open ends that used to connect to the radiator. Don't we have to close this loop somehow?
