I've heard of people adding a second compression sleeve (acorn) cut in =
half to achieve the desired length.  I haven't tried it myself since I =

would have been my next step.

And isn't it the brass "acorn" that seals the connection at the pump, =
not the threads? ISTR that the original "acorn" is a bit longer than the =
replacements available which limits compression and can cause a leak. At =
one time there was someone making a longer "acorn" to solve this =
problem. =20

Just a couple random thoughts here.  One, I could not figure out from =
your message where exactly you ended up putting the electric pump.  My =
understanding is most electric pumps like to push better than the like =
to pull, MG and Healey pumps are mounted close to the tank and low in =
back, that would be a good place for the new TR electric pump.  You seem =
somewhat concerned about originality.  =20

=20

Second, mechanical pump rebuild kits are readily available and not too =
hard to fit.  There are lots of things I remember about rebuilding my TR =
ten years ago, rebuilding the pump is not one of them, so it must have =
been fairly easy to do and worked (and has been working fine for ten =
years).=20

Several years ago on an evening  club drive in the Catoctin Mts of =
Maryland my TR4 developed running/ hesitation issues. Then it got dark & =
started to rain. Could not drive the car steady over 45mph. Typical fuel =
flow clogging issue symptoms. Fortunately we made it into Fredericksburg =
and a Motel.=20

=20

Next morning, still raining,  the issue was apparent: in the bottom of =
the Glass fuel bowl- a pile of 'rust dust'.  Cleaned the bowl & nursed =
the car home 30 miles, but it kept dying. Fortunately a Jag club friend =
came by and got his trailer & towed me home.=20

=20

Further examination determined sediment also in the CD carbs fuel bowls. =
So much for the fuel pump 'screen' being 'effective'.=20

=20

Also examination of the fuel pump (original) revealed a weak diaphragm, =
so while working on the carbs, ordered a new pump from TRF. =20

=20

A few months later got everything back together.  The engine started =
right up & ran fine. But no matter how I tried to seal the threads on =
fuel feed of the original  curved pipe inlet 'nut' to the new pump ( =
pipe dope, teflon tape, rtv) the leak wouldn't stop. =20

=20

Magnifying glass exam of the original Triumph  Male pipe 'nut' and the =
female threaded bore of the new TRF pump revealed a slight thread =
mismatch - Chinese machining. It was not Metric either. =20

=20

So after talking with TRF, I decided to forget the mechanical pump and =
install an electric pump, ala Jaguar V12s & Jensen Healey / GTs (Lotus =
907).=20

=20

Well, I installed a couple of  different new electric  pumps  adjacent =
to the mechanical pump.=20

=20

They would never 'self prime'. =20

=20

Now, returning to the project. I removed the mechanical pump, & DRAINED =
the tank of the old fuel. It seems that the gravity feed when the tank =
is less than 1/2 full requires the elec pump to be very low ( like the =
original input height of the original pump, to receive fuel. =20

=20

So I am redetailing the frame (cleaning & new paint) and securing the =
new fuel line, inline glass Filter & elec pump  right on the frame. This =
allows the steel feed line from the tank ( after Dremel Tool cutting) to =
match the new location of the electric pump.=20

=20

Next will be modifying a new copper fuel line ( semblance of =
originality) to meet the elec pump feed right behind & adjacent to the =
Water pump. The original copper pipe mated to the back of the mechanical =
pump , ran up and forward along the engine at the cylinder head level to =
the front of the engine & then across to the carburetor feeds.=20

=20

Finally hope this resolves the fuel delivery issue.=20

=20

I  wanted to share a warning about the TRF pump supplier manufacturing =
glitch. So others can not waste years getting their TRs back to =
Roadworthy status.=20

=20

Obviously not going to drive a car with weeping fuel near a hot engine. =
At least on the TR4 & 6s, ( unlike Jaguar 6s ( have 2) or V12s ( have =
3), Jensen GTs ( have 3) ; the exhaust Manifolds are on the opposite =
side of the engine. =20
