Can anyone help? A while back there were some posts regarding someone making brand new alloy or stainless steel fuel pump cradles for Sapphire Cosworths. Has anyone bought one and if so can you give me the details of who makes them and how much they cost please. My original one has seen better days.

There was someone selling the in stainless on ebay, think they were over £150 though. Hope that helps, other than that get a good second hand 1 send it for blasting & powder coating then job done, mine cost me £50 all done that was a mint second hand 1 for £30 £10 blasted & powder coted & £10 in all new bolts & rubber bobbins. Looks bang on

Thanks for the information, I have got a good one sorted from Gary at RS breakers. I bet the guy will have no trouble selling it even at £100.

Thanks for the information but the one I got from Gary is in sound condition. Just taken it apart into its 5 sections which are now at the powder coaters . £20 for the silver finish which I think is good value.

I found a new one on Ebay, they do still come up occasionally if you keep looking.


Is it a new one you are after ?

cossynut2

Have you tried any breakers? That is where I got mine and if its in sound condition get it powder coated and it will look like new again.

Found mine on eBay, there is a seller that has them on there now and again, paid a lot for it mind

allot of craddles look f...ed because they were made of half decent steel time there sand blasted in my case i bearnt it of with a blow torch they survive very well

cossynut2

They are made of steel, so a lot of the second hand ones that breakers have will be rusty, so you have to make sure they are not to bad or as you have said when they are sandblasted they will get destroyed.One that has only a small amount of rust will clean up fine and after powder coating look almost brand new again.
I was lucky with the one I got from Gary at RS Breakers and I had it silver powder coated and fitted with new bolts /rubber sleeves etc.

I had a couple of cradles made from type six stainless steel which is the same stuff that beer barrels are made from, so pretty tough and durable and would probably out live the car they were bolted to in all honesty, how ever the production cost was quite high and I tested the water with the couple I had made but nobody really wanted to pay what I was asking for them so I wasn't going to risk getting a large batch made that would run into thousands of pounds and shelved the idea.

Sierras are us did have some advertised a while back including the internals of the cradle but don't have any advertised now, they probably felt the same as I did with these as if iirc they were are asking around £150 for the whole thing, but probably couldn't get the custom on them either
