My 914-6 GT tribute has a Holly fuel pump mounted on the rear firewall using rubber washers. Staying true to the GT theme I have no engine compartment backpad and want to keep it that way. The fuel pump is noisy in the cockpit and I am looking to try to quiet things down. Anyone wrapped some sort of an insulating jacket around their pump? Looking for ideas.

I'm betting you know this but will hazard the comment:
Be careful "insulating" the pump. Anything that retains heat in the pump isn't your friend. Could you move it off the firewall and still keep it true to the look? Is it purely the sound or is any vibration adding to the situation? If there is some vibration that's adding to the problem, maybe "double rubber mount it"? Something like a bracket that attaches to the current rubber mounts, then attach the pump to that with another set of rubber mounts? |
