Fuel parts - Swirl pot and pump bracket

I'm rethinking the fuel system in my XR2 to make it a bit more user friendly. Perhaps discreet is the best word. Also want to get the boot back, so going to re-fit the floor, which means the swirl pot is too tall.

Here's what the setup looked like this morning:



So, first for sale is the swirl pot. It's alloy, obviously. Welding isn't perfect but not bad. Can't remember whether I bought it off here or another forum, but it was certainly second hand.

Has two outputs for a dual pump setup, but I used a T-piece to join them to feed one pump. I'll throw this in if you need it.

The bottom bracket had a right angle in it at some point which I flattened out for my application. It might bend back, but it might also snap, so you do this at your own risk. There's plenty of 'meat' there to bend another tab up if you must have one.

Has 2 x 9.5mm connections, two 16.5mm for the pumps, and a screw-on connector. The adaptor for this is included - actually a mondeo fuel rail connector.

Asking £35 + post. I think that's fair - new ones go for £55 upwards on the bay of e.



Next is the fuel pump mounting bracket. Alloy construction again, home made, with four rubber mounts on the base to try to keep the noise of the pump down. It's not the tighest of mounts. Some more foam might help it, or maybe slot the bracket and thread a big jubilee clip round the pump. In my application the pipe work held it in place.

Fits a Bosch Sierra-type fuel injection pump.




Is it worth a tenner to anyone?

Cheers, Chris

Swirl pot gone. Anyone fancy the pump bracket? Make an offer if it's too expensive.
