Quick question,
I am going to be using an electric fuel pump (facet/carter etc.) on my TR3 when I start getting it back together. It currently has an electric pump fitted and the mechanical pump orifice in the block covered with a blanking plate.
I was thinking of mounting the electric pump somewhere on the drivers side inner fender close to the stock location of the mechanical pump.
As a back up, I was thinking of removing the blanking plate and fitting a spare mechanical pump that I have, and just plugging the inlet to keep dirt out etc.
If the electric pump was to fail, I was hoping that I might be able to swap the inlet/outlet hoses to the mechanical pump in order to get me home.
Does this sound like a good idea or not?
Cheers,
