Hi All,

For the past 10 weeks my Mk1 has been in the body shop getting some issues
with the original body restoration (now 10 years old) addressed. After getting
it all back together, went to start it and the fuel pump was dead. Thought it
might be the charge, but even with 12V direct to the fuel pump...nothing.

It is an original SU fuel pump, so the mechanic at the shop is going to try
clean up the points to see if that works. In anticipation of a worst case
scenario what are my options for replacement.

I did not see anything at Sunbeam Specialties, but did see a replacement
electric pump at Victoria British for $212 ($26 for just points).

Any other options? My Mk1 has the stock 260 with the LAT 1 Induction set up,
LAT 20 High Performance Camshaft and LAT 74 2" exhaust...no headers. It
generates about 200+hp at the engine.

Thanks

Jim Lindner
