Wow, that's dedication! For the pump I'd only add a roll of duct tape and the bottom of a plastic food container big enough to cover the pump when finished as well as the fuel line decoupler needed to remove the clamps. If you're that worried about the fuel pump, what about the cam belt and rectifier? They are far more likely to fail statistically than the fuel pump.

about the rectifier:
to buy it in the us directly: +/- 150usd
to buy it in and from morgan switzerland: 654sfr (667usd)!!!!!!!

Thanks Michael - super quick reply! I carried the HD replacement Rectifier for many 1000's of miles and of course eventually needed to use it (in the middle of bl00dy nowhere of course!), so that was a good idea for sure. I'll leave cambelt failure to the pickup-truck I think, but I reckon that fuel pumps go often enough to make it a wise idea for one to fill the slot now vacated by the HD rectifier. Clamp removal tool is a good point though.

I see that the pump was originally sourced for the Land Rover. This explains all the Rovers I've seen in my area getting flat bedded out! Only second home owners have them here (I live in a multiple mountain ski resort). The locals stick with Toyota and Suburu!

Surely with so many fuel pump failures, maybe it's about time to source a fuel pump from a different manufacturer. Do we need an in tank fuel pump, could we fit an external pump using the existing plumbing?

If none of the above are feasible, what would it take to put a tapping in the bottom of the fuel tank and fit an external pump?

Michael, what does the "fuel line decoupler" look like, and where might I get one. I've used my fingers and a pliers, but a tool would be neat.

I used these.

The English 5/16" worked well as that was the only one I could get!

These will fit in the tight space on the line next to the bulkhead. Anything longer or bulkier will not.

There are plastic models out there as well and they will do quite fine as you only use these once or twice.
