    Fuel pump bracket 1971 911T

    Hi there,

    Wondering if I could ask for some help with my 71 911T. The original fuel pump bracket I believe was mounted under the belly pan behind the fuel tank, however:1) can anyone show a picture of it located in its correct mounting position, and 2) can anybody advise me of the correct parts required to reinstate this bracket, including any associated screws/ brackets etc.

    I should point out that my car has a pump strapped in an incorrect position on the front suspension cross member, and I want to put it right.

    Best,

    Adam

    71 pump should be mounted on l/r torsion bar housing. See if there is a mount there.

    Ed is correct. It also doubles as the LR Sway bar bracket.

    Regards

    Jim & Ed, PET does not reveal the date or VIN's of the change; do either of you have any data to help define the change?

    Thanks for this very helpful and insightful feedback on the front mounted F pump.

    Given the mechanic put the pump back in the front location, I am presuming (but have not as yet verified) that they have used the OEM wiring to do it.... I will check and report back.

    Regarding parts, what / who / where is PET ???

    Many thanks,

    Adam

    The pump bracket is no longer available from Porsche. There are some repro brackets available but I have no idea of the quality. Ebay Germany was the last place I saw them fi
    or sale. Alternatively advertise on here.

    Thanks Ed,

    I’m a little confused, what is l/r referring to, and am I right to assume for the 71 model year, the pump should be mounted at the rear, not front?

    Best regards,

    Adam
