Hey guys, nearly got the bonus fully converted now, just waiting for new petrol tank to come and to get the fuel pump mounted. Now on the donor car there is a rotten cradle left, which the pump was literally just rattling around in.Now its so rotten and void of any rubber, im not totally sure how it would of been.So has anyone got any pics of it so that i can understand how it goes, and also has anyone got the cradle in good condition they wanna sell or know anyone who sells aftermarket mountings? cheers guys, hate it when little things hold you up at the last minute
cheers
Danny

 

Taken from another similar post I replied to:

Check out my underside I did, I fitted the AS autos replacement 3 peice cradle... but you still need to buy the spare wheel well plug and also the cradle that bolts to the chassis (that the plugs goes through) and as you say the three rubber mounts for the internal cradle to hold the pump. I can get you the finis codes for these parts if you require? (That is if they are still available, as when I got mine the bloke said they were becoming harder to get hold of)

You can see these parts mentioned on this page of my thread: https://passionford.com/forum/viewto...=asc&start=120

Could make your own cradle up out of sheet metal and flat rubber to grip the pump once tightened!

 

That's too much like hard work

 

cheers Adam, ive bought the as 3 piece bracket, but need the cradle, rubber plug and the 3 rubber mounts.If you have the finis code for them that would be great
cheers again

NP, and You have PM

 

you can still get them from ford 40 quid.

i got one for mine, think its of a s1 though as its nothing like the one that came off.

I find the whole pump mount arrangement in the rst a little bizzare. They are overly complicated, and a horrid dirt and water trap. On Manchester Mike's car, we used a small U bracket and then a couple of bolts through the wheel well mounted on rubber bushes and grommets. He's never had a problem with it

 

Rick I completely agree...most people's are fcuked anyway and just seem to be cabled ties together

The only reason I replaced mine was because of the underside, it really wasn't that bad but going the stainless route will stop it from corroding in future.

 

got the little rubber mounts today, and the mounting plate will be at my ford dealer 2moro
big thanks to Adam for the finis codes
cheers
Danny

 

car looks well in silver

 

 

i had to grind mine off ,then make one goodun outa 2 bado s,

ford wanted around 80 for the whole set up

still waiting for my m8 to billet up my ali ones,hes doing 3,75quid each,but hes only done the main plates as yet,nice and light ,and rust free!

55 for the autospecialties one.

 

 

i agree with yous,very complicated to hold on a fuel pump.

from the load valves to the hubs,even the springs on your rear shoes!

new!

just incase you wondered!

 

who's your daddy?
