I will shortly be fitting an ex-bike fuel pump to my car.

Should I use rubber mounts for this, or will direct 'hard' mounting be OK?

I was just wondering if there's some technical reason for doing it? I don't reckon I'll be too bothered by either the noise or the vibration of the pump - certainly not when I'm on the move!

I mounted an R1 pump on mine and used the original rubber mounting point, if you could get hold of one they are ideal

Yup i used the original rubber mounting on my R1 pump too, the mount wraps around the pump and has an ear with an M8 hole in for mounting.

Mine's from a Yamaha FJ100 or 1200!

My r1 pump is using the original rubber mount too. Its best to rubber mount it to stop vibrations interfering with it.

YOu could make a bracket and use a rubber bobbin??

I may be OK - I had a good look at it tonight, and it's got 2 rubber bits in the mounting. The first is a sheet of ribbed rubber wrapped around the casing, with a steel band around that. The band has a flange with one rubber mount and a spigot. My guess is that the spigot goes through another rubber mount, with the whole lot clamped in with a nut and bolt through the first mounting.

...or something like that!
