The conundrum of the facet fuel pump
( from Moss ) is finding the optimal place to mount it on a TR3. It is not something I gave any thought to when I ordered it. And it was only after I removed the mechanical AC pump, that I realized it may be an issue.
The facet pump is a cube with ear flanges top/bottom.
the problem is : it doesn't fit the rather narrow TR3 chassis, unless you angle it( which would work, by the way, as mounting on a 45 degree angle is recommended ) . the problem is if you do angle it , it is necessary for about 6" of the fuel line to extends below the frame..... I didn't like that.
Second option: mount it on sheet metal (wheel well, back panel, etc.) Reasonable, but I didn't like that either.
I thought about ordering a cylindrical pump from Airtex, but I already had the facet.
so I shaved off the bottom flange & cut a third off the top flange. It fit nicely in the frame, below the left side rear shock absorber housing (back side, in the channel)
i used one metal screw to secure it rather than two, but it is very snug, (I hope it will not overheat, that close to the frame)
The next step will be wiring in the revolution electric fuel pump controller(safety shut off if engine dies)
