which forms the banjo bolt that ataches the fuel feed line to the rail.

that picture has it the wrong way around. the one labelled "pulsation dampener" with the vacuum hose coming out of it is the regulator. the one labelled "regulator" is in fact the pulsation dampener.

ok cool thanksv http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/forums/emoticons/biggrin.gif .. now question is the regulator meant to have a hole for the banjo fitting because mine doesn't seem to have a hole for the banjo fitting

cheers

As above, the pulsation damper is where the fuel enters the fuel rail from the fuel filter. This has the banjo fitting as the fuel entering here is at highish pressure. The fuel pressure regulator is at the rear of the fuel rail and fuel exiting this is at low pressure thus doesn't have a banjo fitting. Just a push fit with hose clamp.
