thanks although i haven't quite reached the level of detail you have.
a lot of triumph owners in the club upgrade to an electronic pump if they use there cars a lot or compete with them as it improves reliability considerably.
as you said, im trying to use old parts wherever i can to make it as authentic an experience as possible, however i also need it to be usable.
in short the mechanical pumps need a lot of tlc, create extra noise, and do not provide a stable fuel pressure whereas an electronic pump when run alongside a fuel pressure regulator can provide a stable constant pressure of fuel making it far easier to setup the carbs to be reliable, and also the electronic system is not effected by change in temperature.
a basic fuel pump and regulator isn't expensive so might be worth it.
in my case i will hide the new fuel pump under the fuel tank so it isn't visible in the engine bay.
i have a lot of progress to take photos of so i will try and post some pics tonight :-)
