TableLeg Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 The Aluminium wrap around fuel pump mounting brackets, are people just making these or buying them from somewhere? Thanks in advance. Quote
BenD Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 i used stainless steel rubber lined p clips from ebay Quote
Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 I got mine from the factory with a big batch of other parts, however, I made an identical one for the fuel pump - it's just a strip of rolled and drilled aluminium. Don't forget to allow for a rubber or neoprene sleeve on the fuel pump for isolation. Quote
Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 On the last car, I use a pair of Mikalor clamps, these were riveted to a flat piece of aluminium, which was then riveted to the chassis. Quote

TableLeg Posted January 31, 2015 Author Posted January 31, 2015 I made an identical one for the fuel pump - it's just a strip of rolled and drilled aluminium. Was it 2mm Dave do you know? Quote
Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 I made mine from ~ 1.6mm sheet, the factory one was almost the same, though may have been 1.5mm! Quote
TableLeg Posted January 31, 2015 Author Posted January 31, 2015 I made mine from ~ 1.6mm sheet, the factory one was almost the same, though may have been 1.5mm! Is there no flex once mounted i.e. possible vibration of the pump? Quote
Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 The thickness of the isolating neoprene sleeves supplied for the Bosch 044 pumps, is about 10mm! It's quite a stiff neoprene mix, but still has more movement than the bracket! Quote
