I just roughed out the placement of the 75 pump in the 73 stock location. Not the best fit. One problem the fuel filter can't be secured in the 73 filter holder. I also think the plastic lines might have to be trimmed. You guys have any suggestions? I'd rather not move it up front. Capt'n is this the way you have done it? Thanks for the help.

Rob, http://www.mcmaster.com/#catalog/115/1362/=5bv148 has the vibration mounts. I was thinking 2 pair of M6 double male ends with "A" having a 1" length and a pair of Z brackets. Probally will order a combo of sizes with male & female to see what works best. Was under the impression this was an easy stock fit. Not the case without getting creative. It seems there are 2 fire walls, so drilling though both of those and removing the back pad is more work than I want to do. One of PO's used sheet metal screws on the fire wall to hold the pump bracket. Pump was ready to fall off. So, the z-bracket solution should be fine.
I'm heading over to Lowes and Homedepot to see what they have. Still have the dangeling fuel filter to resolve. I'd rather not cut the oem plastic lines, but I think I might have to. Open to suggestions if you come up with something better. I'll take shots once it's all done with a hardware list. Be a few weeks before I'm done with it. |
