Re: [T3] Fuel Pump Mounting Cushions


I know what you mean, have been there.  The ones I've seen on wrecks
are either perished or non-existant, like the ones I didn't have when
I got my '71.  I went strolling through the plumbing department at the
local hardware store and came up with some flat rubber faucet or valve
washers that strung onto a long bolt pretty well.  The only problem is
that the bolts conduct the pump noise a little more than I'd like, but
it's comforting to know that your pump is working on a cold morning.
I pretty much had to rig up my own mounting until I could find some
original parts off a wreck, the whole bracket was missing, don't know
why.  I'm still using the stacks of washers, though.  I suppose some
enterprising fellow could use the original metal ends off the perished
original mounts and then cast up replacements out of RTV silicone of
suitable hardness using some PVC pipe for a mold or something, would
be lots more expensive than my stacks of washers.
