With apologies to e.e.cummings, the ways to mount a pump.....
As it happens the Facet/Purloator/Shlepboys/Autozoned, etc. universal
square-bodied fuel pump has the same mounting ear dimension as an
MGB, big Healey transmission mount. Requires 1 hole for the 5/16"
stud on the mount, and the pump bolts to the "ears" of the mount
giving a nice 3/4" rubber silent block.
