Default 3dr fuel pump cradle/tank Quip

What options are there for tidying the cradle up? can you still get them from ford + the rubber bits/clamps? does anyone do any aftermarket ones or is it just a case of blasting my one and powdercoating it.

Also can you still get tanks are they the same as other sierras??

On a more technical note do i have to use a banjo fitting on the outlet of a Grp A pump or will a 90 degree swivel be ok? I have heard that the banjo is needed to equalise the pressure in the lines.

any advice/input welcomed

You can get aftermarket setups like my old one.

I can't see any reason you'd need a banjo fitting to be honest, and I never ran one.

I brought a new Fuel pump cradle last week from Ford, it took nearly 2 weeks to come, forgot to try and order the clamps for the pump and filter, i will try later in the week, And i brought a new fuel tank from Ford about 18 months ago. so parts should still be available.

The bracket for the pump should be OK - I got mine a few months ago - but forgot to get the two for the filter and they are not available as of last weekend.
The rubber insulators are sold in packs of 10 and you only need 3 (or 4 - can't recall) Whatever, I have spares!
