Fuel pump access, From frunk? Options

[StarBear]

The posting on fuel pump failure and towing got me wondering… if the pump is up front in bottom panel, could a trap door in the frunk spare wheel well be installed to access it from above?? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

But there are more details to the story. The 75-76 fuel filter have tabs so the filter can be mounted against the cabin/fuel tank firewall as seen on this yellow car.

Unfortunately, those 75-76 filter are very difficult to find and the replacement do not have those tabs to slide the filter on the fork bracket.

My workaround for the front pump retrofit (or postfit? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) ) was to use the bracket located in the rear of the car and modify it so it can be installed at the 75-76 location. Also the early bracket catches the filter differently so the new ones can be properly installed.

Final result with the filter bracket and installed pump. Notice the 19mm sway bar above it all everything clears nicely.
