Here is mine. Bolted to the o/s rear chassis leg. The actual bracket is from an Astra & is slightly different. The bracket bolts through expanding threaded inserts you can get from vauxhall stealerships.

Ithought as much.

Cheers guys, it looks like I have a slighty different pump set up to what yopu guys have shown. No matter, I can sort something out.

THanks for your help.

I mounted mine completly different to the OE position.

Mine was mounted at the base of the filler neck using the threaded insert pre fitted to Nova fuel tanks. One water proof cut off switch later bobs your uncle.

Or maybe not as the theiving @unts still figured it out.....

That was the difference with the Astra hanging bracket I used, the rubbers are within the bracket & not between the chassis leg & the bracket itself, seeing as they were utterly shot on my car, I just ditched the whole lot!

The rusted & leaky looking damper next to the pump in the pics isnt needed btw.

I dont know. its all a bit mad as i have a carb tank at the moment. instead of buying a new tank trying to do a cheap mans swirl pot system as I aint got much cash, as I lost me job, but need the car sorted to sell.
