fuel component mounting

Hi guys, how did everyone attach the components of their fuel line to their chassis?

Ive got thousands of p clips in various sizes, but none quite big enough for the fuel pump!

make one of your own. Get some flexible steel, a bicycle inner tube to match the steel, wrap it round the fuel pump, drill two holes on the mount and secure it on the frame.

I used a spare coil bracket (for the old cylindrical coils) with some rubber mat to add some vibration absorption.

i made myself a large p clip from some aluminium flatbar. i used some thin rubber between the pump, and the clip for some vibration damping

exactly what i was suggesting.

Cheers guys. Just need to find a "flatbar/flexible" metal supplier now

B&Q sell lenghts in various sizes. Not the cheapest, but very convenient
