    Facet fuel pump bracket

    Has anyone made up a bracket for the fuel pump? I'd like to do this rather than hold it in place with zip ties like it was before.

    Any pics? Making things from scratch isn't one of my strong points...

    Do a search, I did the other day and I am sure it was mentioned that you could use the standard rubber mount eased on by warming it up (hairdryer) and using a bit of WD40 to get it on.
    When I grow up ..... yeah right!

    Y'see, I could say "You can go fast, I can go anywhere, Africa Twin" But you buggers have 'em as well so it would sound pretty lame .... oops!

    Nice one, yup I know about the original mount but I broke mine trying to fit it and it always seemed a bit of an inelegant solution to me square peg round hole

    what about modifying a couple of those stainless steel "p" clips with a rubber sleeve?

    like this
