I'm doing a frame-off restoration on a 1970 TR6 PI. I have replaced the
Lucas fuel pump with a Bosch unit from a BMW 30si. I also added a Facet
priming pump before the Bosch unit. I'm currently installing a new wiring
loom which has a lead for just one fuel pump. I will connect the Facet to
this one. What I need to do is find a power source for the Bosch unit.
My question to the list is just what could I use? The Bosch pump uses 12
ga. wires, compared to the 14ga. that feed the original Lucas pump. (The
Facet uses 14 ga wires). Obviously, I need this circuit to be on only when
the ignition is on. Safety being a major concern. Is there a way to rig
something up a the fuse box? Perhaps this may be a way to utilize the
"spare" slot in my fuse box.
Here's a bonus question: Will my inertia cut-off switch handle the current
to both fuel pumps?
TIA
