[TR] Solid state fuel pump location

[Kinderlehrer]

When I put one on my TR3A, I made a bracket out of galvanized steel 
strapping, the stuff with the regular spaced holes. (14 ga., 1 1/2 inches 
wide - I just measured it).  It was 2 pieces, 1 bent into a "C" shape with 
ears that wrapped around the frame in front of the axle.  The other piece 
was straight and it bolted to the 1st piece and the fuel pump was bolted to 
that. I can't remember all the details, I have since removed it, but I know 
I used "O" rings between the fuel pump and the bracket and I think I used 
some rubber gasket material between the bracket and the frame.  It did run 
pretty quite, could barely hear it even with the motor off.

I would recommend that you put a filter before the pump and a shut-off valve 
before the filter.

HTH,
Bob
