Anyone fitted an upgraded fuel pump to a J reg valver?

As above just wondering how to botch it in as the new pump is smaller than the old one.

any pics ?

your pump may be seperate from your sender being on a J reg

[BristolSam16v]

Yeah it is seperate, the uprated pump I have is meant for valvers/williams where the sender and pump are in 1 unit hence the pump is physically a smaller size.

That means the plastic casing for the pump is a bit too large, Im thinking of wrapping some rubber around and wedging it in, shouldn't matter long as its firmly stuck in?

id ask the advice of Nick @ Hill Power, i know he has replaced a few pumps where its not combined, he will know what to do

yes mate did that to mine



just used some foam at fitted it as per original

[BristolSam16v]

Just any old foam? Didn't think of that :D did you use any adhesive or anything or just wrap it in foam and wedge it in?

the cover comes apart then you can fit it inside that with some old rubber inner tube wrapped around it.

Looks like the cover on yours comes apart differently to mine thou, mine splits top and bottom whereas yours is a vertical split. I can't take mine apart because those metal bars run down and you can't remove them :(

[MAXIBOY]

it slides off the metal bars if you remove the clips.

p.s. pics

You can see a metal plate on the end of one of the metal tubes stopping me from taking it off :(
