Homer Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 Crikey! Wez said they were huge but I didn't realise they were that big. Can you use a stock hanger with that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heckler Posted July 25, 2008 Author Share Posted July 25, 2008 ok, just a few pics from todays effort. http://www.internetwork.org.uk/pump/pump1.jpg a bare hanger. http://www.internetwork.org.uk/pump/pump2.jpg Fuel pipe cut short to accomodate the some-what taller pump http://www.internetwork.org.uk/pump/pump3.jpg The end "tab" trimmed to allow the filter adaptor to sit in appox correct position http://www.internetwork.org.uk/pump/pump4.jpg Pump fitted with heavy duty cable ties. I have put this in the tank and the pump sits about 10mm to low, so tommorow I'll fix that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 Dynamat over the cover? Yep I would dynamat the entire boot and rear wheel archs if I had another, massive source of noise before you fit a 044 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heckler Posted July 27, 2008 Author Share Posted July 27, 2008 right last picture before it went in the tank.. http://www.internetwork.org.uk/pump/pump5.jpg got all running, engine even started! static pressure checked, and it not too noisey either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heckler Posted July 28, 2008 Author Share Posted July 28, 2008 take a bit of er... guestimation to make sure the pump sits at the correct height, ended up cutting the bottom of the hanger off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkR Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 I was wondering about that. Couldn't you measure the distance from the bottom of the stock pump to the top of the hanger and make sure the new one lines up to the same spot? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couldn't you measure the distance from the bottom of the stock pump to the top of the hanger and make sure the new one lines up to the same spot? i based it on the height of the filter from the top, so due to the size/location of the filter and adaptor, I ended up cutting the bottom of the hanger off! Fits like a glove! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkR Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 Cool, looking forward to doing mine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
