Soft/rubber mounting a fuel pump
Hi,
I am wanting to rubber mount the EFI fuel pump (it is aftermarket injected) in my bug. The clamp is rubber lined, but I also want to use rubber
standoffs (just like the golf lower radiator mounts - Here) since the pump is mounted to
the front of the tunnel and I'd prefer not to hear any whirring.
I have previously bought some after market ones however the quality is questionable and they start breaking after a while. The mk1 Golf ones are
great but aren't the easiest to stumble across. So my question is - does anyone know of other car models that are a good source of rubber standoffs.
I have looked at the wreckers and can't seem to find anything. The closest is VL Commodore fuel pump mounts but they always seem to be yanked in
half. Any leads greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Peter

Tooley imports have mounts similar to this,they mount the tray under the engine on T4 transporters and were reasonably priced.

Ended up picking up about 8 of the Commodore air cleaner rubber mounts for a steal at the wreckers - my version of recycling  . Thanks for the tip Steve. Anyway being OEM I guess they will be better than
most on the market, although the bonding doesn't look too good, who knows how long they'll last in a vertical mount (as opposed to there life
horizontally mounted in the dunnydore). If they die than the Blackwood's ones should definitely do the job. Thanks for all the pointers guys...

The incessant hammering not good enough for you?
Seriously just want to know what you are mounting it to?
I want to re-mount an electric pump and am looking for better ideas where to put it.
