R33 Fuel Pump Installation Problem

[4drftn]

hi, i have a walbro fuel pump for my R33 and need to put the bracket back in to its position inside the tank, trouble is when i went to get it out it had already come of the mounting position and the cradle/bracket was sitting there, meaning i have no idea where abouts it has to be fasten or fixed to.... all i need to do is just place the cradle/bracket into its fixed (sercure) position inside the tank.

can anyone tell me, draw a diagram, have pics or give any info to help with this problem.

cheers

Have a look at the pics i posted in here :

Check the 2 pics, just above the pics with the fuel pumps on the glass table.

The 1st shows the bracket with it slipped on/installed, hard to see but the angle is the best i could do.

The second shows the upside down U-shped bracket coming out.

You need to get your hand right in with the bracket ready in postition to slip on...ie rotated corectly.

Go in...the up as high as you can, then slip it down while pushed against the back wall.

Pretty much done by feel but it's not to hard, more fiddley than anything else.

You;ll start getting a twisted back if you take too long....good luck

so in the second pic where it is comin out it is upside down and needs to be turned or flipped over 180degrees? also the back wall... is that the back wall towards the front of the car (when in boot)? or closest to me (when in boot)? im a bit confused...

also i have my back seat out if it would make things easier... cheers

If you look at all my pics in order, it's like a little movie...sorta

I did everything from the boot. Didn't need to worry about the back seat.

The pic where you see it coming out is how it should sit.

The upside doen U-shaped bracket is the top of the unit with gravity holding it in place.

It's not to hard to understand if you look at all my pics.

It shows the full bracket removed and how the pic is rotated is correct to how it fits in the tank.

The back wall i was talking about is really the front, from standing at the rear of the car is pushing forward towards the front of the car....re-reading i should have said front wall

You in Sydney?
