electric ones....??? GR told me so it must be worth soomething :lol:

That sucks mate, but the rest off the car is there. look at it that way.

problem is that the outlet is right on the LCB.....so the rubber hose will melt with that pump

Mechanical fuel pump is about $40 for a rebuild kit. Only takes 1/2 hr if that to do once you get it out, but is cheaper to buy electric pump apparently or so I've been told. Mechanical pump works fine on cheezel since I rebuilt hers! Less noise etc and yes you can buy backing plates if you wana get rid of it! Good luck!!

(late?) Clubbies have a so called 'sealed pump' that is unserviceable. It's a throw away item. The rebuild kits are good for those funny round Mini's, as thay have a pump you can actually work on! :lol:

AND they have a better design. Mini K has inlet and outlet on the same side - WHICH IS AWAY FROM HOT EXHAUST PIPES!!!!!

Anton

If you use a BMC mechanical fuel pump a kit to put through it is $20 bucks. The top with the in/outlet can be positioned in 3 direction to go around your manifold and extractors.

Anton I've got that K one here, if you want it..
Screw in fittings.
It passed my `blow' test, just needs a K or Deluxe outlet pipe thingy. Or another inlet stub and some hose... :wink:
