Good info. Thanks. I thought about the rubber device that hold sthe
airflow unit on Bosch fuel injection on a Jag XJ6, basically a piece of
rubber with a stud glued on each end. But my installation was geared toward
getting a pump installed quickly, so the pump is bolted to the front of the
driver's footwell.
