Fitting 044 fuel pump (internally)

[JimX]

I had a chat to the guys at Hills Motorsports today about my 044 fuel pump, and they said that it can be mounted internally, but would be rather difficult and would take a lot longer than the original hour of labour quoted.

For this reason, he suggested that I sell the pump and get a Walbro pump which is much easier to fit into the existing bracket. While I would have liked to have done this, it might be difficult for me to even break even on the changeover of pumps despite the fact that the Walbro pump is less powerful.

I was just wondering if anyone's had any experience in fitting the 044 pump internally, and what they had to do to achieve it. I might have a shot at it this weekend, or if it sounds too complicated and/or time consuming, just cut my losses and try to sell this pump and buy a Walbro.

ive fitted a few,not difficult,but allow about $75 worth of fittings to do it properly and make sure all the hoses are not kinked when refitting.

Hmm, this is starting to sound complicated and expensive. I think I will take the easy option and get a Walbro pump. Anyone want to buy an unused 044?
