How to mount March Pump that has no Mounting Feet?

cruelkix · Dec 18, 2009

Hey all,

Just trying to get an idea for how people mounted their March pumps if they have no mounting feet? I guess I should have ordered mine with the feet..... I didn't realize it was coming without them.

I looked at a bunch of rig set ups but the pics are never close enough for me to see .....

Thanks for any help you can give!

I attached mine to a bracket by the two screws on the electrical box on the bottom.

I was thinking about that. Is that holding up well? I was a little concerned that it wouldn't be strong enough.

I put mine on wheels.

I must say i'm intrigued, but I really have no idea what you are talking about haha. Maybe you could throw some pics in there to illustrate your well versed concepts?

Thanks,

Plumber's tape to a piece of wood.

I used to do fabrication and used stuff like this all the time check it out. This is a fuel pump cradle for off-road/ drag car applications. You can also build a half moon cradle out of steel / aluminum depends what you are mounting it to. Send me a pic and maybe I can help out more.

i made a couple oblong slots, wide enough for a hose clamp, in a piece of wood and mounted with 2- 4" hose clamps (worm clamps). 4" hose clamps fit pretty good around the pump.

Something like this might help,and there cheap enough.

That sounds practical.

Pics are on teh first page of the thread. But what you show here would be really good If I could find it in the right size. Thanks for the suggestion!

Similar to how Ollllo's is mounted in the wall of that box, I made a hole in a faceplate on my rig and sandwiched it between the motor and the pump head. Works good.

I kinda see it, but do you have a close up?
