Thanks guys! Glad the info was helpful for others.
Just abit of extra info...
In the first page with the photo of the DA9 tank, on the right you can see the two main hardline fuel lines which would connect to the cabin. These hardlines are a bit long and can be cut to a shorter length inorder to run the connecting hose DIRECTLY to the hardlines inside the cabin.
I left mine untouched and just routed longer pieces of hose back to the cabin hardlines making sure there was enough hose for it not to kink.
Firstly, yeah, great writeup. Really appreciate any little bits of info that make life easier when doing mods like this.
Secondly, remember all low-pressure lines are held on by little clips; pressure lines, on the other hand, should use correct EFI hose and worm-screwed hose clamps. Also note the difference between plastic fuel filters (low pressure) and metal filters (EFI). Use a metal filter on EFI hose.
Finally, be careful cutting hardlines as you will see that some have their ends flared to allow a pressure clamp to sit over it giving a better fit and seal. Cutting this off leaves you with nothing to stop the pressure hose from "popping" off or dislodging. Might pay to invest in a beading tool to give that OEM look and functionality.

Thanks for the tip Peter!
I basically used everything from the DA9 which was the donour car, just added in new EFI hoses and re-used the hose clamps that came with the DA9.... Should I change these hose clamps to new items?
I also bought a new DA9 fuel filter and mounted it onto the firewall to keep everything DA9 spec.
For anyone that reads this in the future da9 tank cannot be used for ed hatch. filler points are in different positions. I learnt this the hard way
