Got some more welding and fab work done today. I realized I forgot to fabricate a bracket to mount the fuel pump and filters to the back of the car. I'm trying to avoid doing a lot of cutting and welding after I get the car back from paint, so I wanted to get this done now.
Here's the bracket. Thanks to
Rick 91GT for the mounting idea.
Pump mounted
I'm not drilling the holes in the body until I know exactly where I want to mount the bracket, but this kind of shows how it will all be mounted.
Fuelab says that the pump should be mounted as low as possible, but it's not the end of the world if it's a few inches above the sump outlet on the tank. I 'd prefer to have the pump hidden behind my Cobra bumper, but I'll live if it shows a little. I'm trying to keep the car somewhat sleeperish, and a huge 1300hp pump sicking out the back doesn't scream sleeper. Then again, neither does the sumped tank or exposed braided fuel line out the back.
Gonna send this bracket and my bellhousing off to the powder coater next week to have them coated in gloss black.
