Further to this =E2=80=93 I have used this pump in both Healeys for at =
least 20 years (mine are Moprod branded). They have worked flawlessly =
=E2=80=93 lots of miles on both cars over the time. They are readily =
available (here in Canda) as the Ecco. They are diaphragm pumps as is =
the SU, and will fit as the original if the line fittings are still =
present. Can easily be installed on either NEG or POS grounded cars =
=E2=80=93 just switch the leads =E2=80=93 pump body is isolated =
(it=E2=80=99s plastic.) Which brigs up the only downside: =

pumps are supplied with 4 white neoprene seals that are way better than =
the original fibre washers =E2=80=93 just a tiny bit past finger tight =
is all that is needed..
I have the Putske Billstein shock kit in my BJ8 =E2=80=93 the kit came =
with a new fuel pump mounting bracket that didn=E2=80=99t work all that =
well. We simply made a more suitable bracket out of a sheet of aluminum =
stock. Over the years I have considered fashioning a second pump =

filter without jacking the car and getting the wheel off. I also carry =
an identical pump in the boot at all times as a spare. I guess my =
thinking has been that if I am absolutely ready for a fuel pump failure, =
it probably won=E2=80=99t happen. (I try not to think of tunnels and =
bridges). So far, so good!

Another good quality and fairly cheap electronic replacement for the SU =
fuel pump is this:
Low pressure SU replacement Fuelflow 12v electronic fuel pump 15LM12
Selling on eBay for about $60.
It is made in New Zealand and also sold under the brand name Moprod and =
Ecco.
It would be an excellent spare and you can use the same fittings as on =
your original SU AUF301 fuel pump.
