electric fuel pump

In an effort to get the engine compartment a little cleaner with as much clutter removed as possible, I will change from a mechanical to an electric fuel pump. It will be attached to the front bulk head. There is a cover already, which I will replace with a self made aluminium one, with incorporated captive nuts for fuel pump attachment.

top is the original bulk head cover, bottom is the aluminium replacement. The og cover has a raised section, which takes away some precious space, so the new one is flat:

I am a big fan of wrinkle finish paint, so I painted this cover with it:

This is the assembled status, with two rubber lined mounting brackets for a robust attachement, but also some noise reduction:

( I marked the direction of flow and also the positive and negative terminal to make sure everything will be assembled flawlessly)

New plate already mounted in the Fastback's bulk head:

The fuel pump has differently sized electrical attachment points, to avoid malfuncton or having the pump running in the wrong direction, so I had to enlarge one of the crimps accordingly:

 A picture of the final assembly will follow soon!
