Sealing Fuel Pump.

Hi guys.

I have a little leak. How did you guys seal the pump. I used the same as Marlin to mount, used rivnuts and rubber seal.

John,

..yep, me too!!

I backed the fasteners right off then used Red Hermetite on both sides of the rubber gasket...let it go off a bit, then clamp back down with the fasteners.

Fuel tight now & has been since Sept last year.

John,

...love to....but the day job says not!

...anyway, got a little work to do on mine now. The gelcoat is onto it's 7th carnauba waxing to maintain the shine...very pleased for gelcoat.

....The suspension hasn't eased and creaks and groans a bit too much....so got to strip it down and relube / press bushes, fettle etc etc.....also using the chance to improve my geometry set up.


Should be fine by Stoneleigh though.
