which has a list of parts and who supplies them to set up a parallel system.

Plumbing two SU's in parallel is not too difficult. Holden & presumably
other suppliers offer banjo fittings with double connections designed for
either treaded connections or straight tubing for rubber hose & clamp
connections. If anyone wants a photo of two SU's plumbed in parallel contact
me off list & I will send you one.

Mitch, I chose to plumb my two pumps in series for simplicity of the
connections.  Ibve had it that way for 12 years and 50,000 miles and it
works just fine.  Although I have one SU and one generic pump, two SU pumps
should work just fine.   The generic pump allows plumbing in with just
rubber
hoses and clamps.  The second SU might require dealing with the second set
of banjo fittings and a more complicated mounting arrangement.



Ibve attached an article I wrote about my system in Healey Marque, which
includes the electrical and plumbing diagrams.
