[Spridgets] Fuel pumps

[Martyn Ridley]

There is an old expression that says "the only thing wrong with 
Lucas(British) electrics is American mechanics".  NAPA???  Please go 
to your British parts guy and get the OEM pump.  I admit that last 
year my 50 year old mechanical pump developed a pin hole leak and I 
had to get a new one. For those on negative/positive earth electric 
pumps - later cars I believe, there are OEM equivalents out there.

Linda, Sterling is at $1.60, there are plenty of UK suppliers (A Head 
for Healeys, AH Spares, Moss UK, Brown & Gammons - to name only those 
I have used and can recommend) that will supply your requirements.

NB: I chased my fuel pump issue for six months, tiny pin hole, took a 
week to cause trouble but proof was it would not pump up once the 
lines had been blown backwards.

Cheers,
Martyn
