Well, thats how it ended up going on. Thanks for the pictures; I hadnt seen
those before. The key seems to be to orient the top banjo bolt so that the
fuel line is riding against the lower banjo bolt. The other edge rides against
the egr box. Wasn't as bad as I thought once I got some light on the subject.
The other thing that helps alot is to install the banjo bolts and the rubber
fuel hose and clamps with the whole assembly on the bench, then install the
whole thing in the car rather than trying to install the hoses and tighten the
banjo bolts with it installed in the car. Also helps to mark the banjo bolt
orientation with the pump temp installed in the car, then tighten them on the
bench.
Whole thing took less than an hour. On to start bending copper fuel lines....
