Looking for SU Fuel Pump mounted on RR Bulkhead pics

I need to install a new SU Fuel Pump on the RR Bulkhead on my Bugeye. Anyone got some installed pics that can share. Planning on cutting metal hose and using rubber hose and clamps to connect to the Plastic Inlet and Outlet hoses. No fuel is in he car or tank at the present time and I feel ok cutting with my Dremel Tool and a cutting blade. Look for a picture of how you dealt with the existing fuel line, cutting and splicing in the new hoses.

Also there are two vent lines on the SU Carb. WTH do I do with those? Do they need vacuum on those vent lines or simply run a small hose somewhere but where should it be run to?

Thanks Team.
 
The vents need to remain open to atmosphere. In the interest of keeping dirt out, they have clear plastic lines like those used for windscreen squirters, and are kept in place attached to a tee through the rear bulkhead floor near the top of the boot. This was never the case on early Sprites, but how the factory did it on later models with the vents.

Thanks Gerard, I can setup something similar.
