One thing I wanted to fix on my car while I was doing the hell hole repair, was to get new fuel pump mounts. Being that mine had broken off and was just zip-tied to the brake line. Well, new stock mounts are $25 to $30 EACH. Wow! And they have to be ordered from Porsche. So one parts distributer suggested using 911sc mounts as they are about the same depth. But they only have one stud and that stud is a little thicker than the stock 914. The other side is female. But that should work, right?
Does anyone have any experience with other alternatives that don't include the $8 cheapo version that break right away or radiator mounts which are too thin? |

The whole point is to hold the pump in place and to vibrationally isolate the pump. Either one of the McMaster Carr ones would work but it might shift the frequency of the transmitted vibration up or down a little.
If you are in the store, bring an old one and do the thumb nail rubber durometer(hardness) test. If one is a better match in durometer to the factory part, take that one. Too soft, and the rear mounted pump might sag against the metal of the car, too hard, and it will be transmitting more noise. Heck, some of the VW products just throw the pump into a little foam box with no screw tiedowns which is a solution for front mounted pumps... |
