Thanks rolsmith!
I thought it was going to be a plug and play.
This is very straight forward!
What's your mileage? Who cares. Is it practical? See #1. What happens when it rains? You get wet.

Well sort of Michael--on the "open market pump" check the tab on the top rim and remove. Compare with the old pump and you will see what I mean. Also it is recommended to install a new "O" ring. Make really really sure you don't twist the rubber "O" ring on installation

Well, for a Morgan, this is straight forward!
Thanks for the 'heads up'. "O" ring and possibly black goop to reseal the cap.
As with most work in the rear end the most tedious bit is cleaning everything as much as possible before you even start. At least with the Super Max installed I no longer have to deal with copious amounts of black dust which seemed to get every where including self. Now it's just road grit. I still wear that but it is far easier to clean up!

Just to be on the safe side I used a brass rod as a drift to remove the kilner jar tye lock ring. Lots of hoovering and cleaning first. Cut the plastic cover off with a box cutter etc. Dont try to save it. There is a very detailed thread on this somewhere on here

We replaced ours in July and were stymied by the plastic tab for a while. Finally realized what the problem was.

Fixed! Pump ordered Tuesday, received late Thursday. Removal of the broken pump took longer than anything else. De-clamping the fuel lines is a royal pain. All of these items were originally installed before the car's skin was put on.
Tested and it immediately fired and stayed steady. Pump motor has a different sound than the previous.
This site and its contributors has saved my sorry butt again!
Thanks to all!

Great stuff
Mine is definitely louder than the original. The old girl seems to pick up better also

Thanks to all! Michael, I ordered one of the non-OEM in-tank assemblies (this one actually, BritCar Part) as I want to have a spare fuel pump in the car when I go touring later this month. But as you'll appreciate, the part is bulky and would take up too much space. I want to remove just the pump element, together with its wiring connector and main output hose so that I carry just the vital bit. In your recent experience, would you say that this is a practical approach and if so, what other components from the complete assembly should I pilfer to carry along with me? Although I've not removed the (very tight) top hose clamp yet to remove the pump itself, right now it looks like this...  I propose that everything outside of those marked KEEP remain on the garage shelf. Would this work out do you think? Thanks!
