I'm glad you mentioned adding a support bracket for the bottom as i'd overlooked this!
What did you use for your pump feed and return connectors Ant? I picked up a pump off Fleabay and it has the existing push on fittings (not sure of the correct term for them) but theres only an inch length left on them , I'm guessing i cant reuse them ? Also I'm going to be replacing the fuel lines at some point for larger 8mm internal diameter front to back and cant decide if I'm gonna use Braided hose or Kunifer or a mixture, come to think of it the existing cut off mk4 pump fuel lines look like nylon so may go that way.
How did you go about wiring up the pump? with mine being a carb Im obviously gonna need to get power for the pump. When the agu loom is connected up to the CE1 fusebox is there a spare port for a Fused relay i could for that?
You only need a support bracket for the mk3 pump, the mk4 one has a swirl pot built in so once pushed into place doesn't move around, mine was pretty much kept in the same position, just moved slightly to the side to allow it to sit flat. I kept the connectors' and pulled the old pipe off them so I could use the quick release bits still.
When you say he needs to weld up feed and return pipes do you mean on the old sender? As that is just removed for the new pump.
With wiring there's a bit further back in the thread on how to do that, mine was carb so I put in the mk4 relay (cant remember if fused bit can always put it inline) and ran the new wires to it and used the fuel gauge sender wires. To get the fuel gauge sender to work i think I wrote up how to do that on the last page.
