Mounting of fuel pressure sending units

[rotohead]

Here is a pic (poor, I know but you get the idea) of the way I mounted my SW sending units.

There is a bracket that holds brake lines on the master brake unit. I built a simple bracket that attaches below it and used fittings to angle the sending units so they fit underneath. A bit of a pain getting at it but they are out of the way and, so far, working good.

I can come up with better pics if anyone wants.

Rotohead that is a very good idea, thank you for posting it. I think I just got my $35 back again If I may ask what gauges did you use for fuel psi.

I have a Stewart Warner gauge, part# 284AM from XKs Unlimited. I can't remember the original gauge that I ordered from them but it was discontinued. $43. 98 included shipping. Also have a new lift pump standing by for replacement.

i think i see, two sending units! what are you metering with them?



Great job, if it werent for the screw type clamps it would look factory to me. with the clamps you used its better than factory in my opinion.

Pre and post filter. I suppose you could get by with just one, post filter, but for a few $ more you can have both. Mostly I wanted them to be isolated from engine vibration. I had it set up w/o connecting to the filter for about 5k miles just to see if the bracket would hold up before I committed to plumbing it up. Did some off-road and rough road driving to test it out. Tried to find other hose clamps that would work but only came up with the screw type. I think a couple large tie wraps would do just as well. I think that's the weakest link (no pun) but at ~15psi max I don't worry too much.
