Rubber mounts for fuel pump?
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.

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!
