Looking For Advice, Where to Mount This Fuel Pump? Options

[kconway]

I've got a Carter fuel pump and I'm trying to find a place to locate it. I was thinking there would be room up under the car where the steering rack is but I looked there but can't imagine where I could put it. Not real comfortable with cutting open an access hole where the later cars had them located.

Any good ideas in these photos?

You could put it up about 1' from where it is located in your first pic. In that indentation. Some 911s had them on the front aluminum suspension crossmember. Some people go as far as getting a later access panel cover (75-76) and cutting a hole in that indentation so the pump sits just above/infront of where brake resevoir hoses go through body to the master cylinder.

^^ +1 ...... I was thinking the same thing. I am going through this fuel pump location issue myself. There is already a hole where the windsheild washer airline went through that is big enough for both to and from lines (just needs a grommet). It makes a lot of sense to put it in that location, as if it ever goes bad and one is short on tools, one can install a replacement with only a screwdriver for the hose clamps. Downside; associated fuel smell if/when any fuel spills.

The other location I am contemplating is on the lower steering cover panel itself. I was thinking of using longer lines and attach it with some rubber mounts. So it comes down when I remove the panel. Downside; would be a bit more work to replace it, should or when it goes bad.
