I have the pump and bracket. I have att. some pics so you can see what it looks like and how the pump is attached. An L-shaped piece of steel or aluminum, approx. 6" X 4" with a 3" ell section would probably suffice.

I made mine from a length of 3/16''X 1''X 10'' strap of steel I bought at Home Depot. I just put two 90* bends in it and bolted it to the plate by the mustache bar . I used rubber mounts between the pump and bracket. You just need to make room for the mustache bar.

Thanks George - I'd been looking for pictures of that pump and bracket for the past two days.. Knew I had them somewhere... but couldn't find them again...

Anyone have pictures of the second type used on the late model 73 240-Z's and 260Z's?

FWIW,

Yup, I just rebuilt and finished mine a few weeks ago. It was all tangled and bent (previous owner issue)

The black color makes the picture blend but I hope these help.

The last 3 pics are obviously the before pictures...

There is a paper filter inside the pump, is that other filter on Daves Z stock or did the previous owner install it?

[Zs-ondabrain]

That's a stock set-up for the 260Z (early) The paper filter cartridge is still in the fuel pump but I guess that's Nissans way of PreFiltering before the pump, since most people don't even know there is a filter Inside the pump.

The filters are basically the same price but easier to to replace the white plastic one. Go figure.

What does it bolt to in the back? I used the 280Z fuel pump bracket in my 71 and two threaded mounting holes in the sub frame lined up with the bracket but for the other I had to drill and tap a spot in the subframe for the second bolt. The 280Z bracket looks like the one Dave has pictures of.

I see that the guy selling the bracket on Ebay also has the fuel pump for sale.

Is the spring clip fuel filter bracket the same one used in the engine bay?
