Default Fuel pump mishap

Well I was at the garage walking out after paying for fuel. Noticed something hanging off the car. Looking under and it was the fuel pump. The carrier seems to have rotted where it sits in the rubbers. Im sure this is a common problem.

Where can I get another?? are they still available new?

I think tomorrow ill be going down to work to fabricate something. I might use the old one to make a plate that mounts to the rubbers the bold the pump to the plate with a P clip.

Are the rubber mounts still available?
