[Healeys] Stripped Outlet on Fuel Pump

[George Haywood]

Ray,

If I wanted to drive today I would go to AutoZone or someplace and buy a facet
pump  or another inexpensive pump that is equal in capacity to the SU pump
(about 3GPM output I believe) and a length of fuel line large enough to fit
over the end of the steel fuel line ends, along with 2 hose clamps and fit the
pump in line securing it to the pump bracket.  Hook up the wiring as needed
and be on my way.  The hardest part of this job would be jacking the right
rear up to remove the wheel.  Even easier if you can unscrew your right rear
seat pan from the cockpit side and just work through there.

Good luck and Happy Healeying on what looks like a great day along the East
Coast.
