What do you all think of this location for mounting my new pump in the front?
Besides space, I have some other goals: 1. Avoiding mounting on any sheet metal shared with the passenger compartment. 2. As much protection as possible. 3. Short fuel line runs between the tank, filter, pump, and hard lines. 4. Access to the lines without pulling the tank. 5. Access to the pump without pulling the tank. My proposed location probably does not satisfy goal 5 (maybe), but otherwise I like it. Attached thumbnail(s)

Could one of you guy's post a few pics for us interested in reproducing the 75-76 fuel pump access opening and plate. A measurement of the opening would be awesome. Thank you.

QUOTE(Shivers @ Jan 25 2021, 08:58 AM)  Could one of you guy's post a few pics for us interested in reproducing the 75-76 fuel pump access opening and plate. A measurement of the opening would be awesome. Thank you. The opening is approximately 6.5" x 2.5" but it is best to have a 75-76 blister cover in hand to make a template. I just test mounted my pump in my retrofit opening yesterday. Pics below and here's a link to my process for cutting the opening. http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?s=&...t&p=2652159 And if I were the OP, I'd do as others have suggested and put it in the steering rack area the same as the factory specified for pump relocation per recall. That's where mine was when I bought my car and it worked find in that location.   |
