u can use a (ignition) coil bracket to hold youre fuel pump, just wrap some rubber around it too. there's also definately is (just) enough room to fit the fuel pumps under the car. youll fit a surge tank between the chassis cross rial (?) and the spare wheel well. the pumps can be mounted to the outside of the spare wheel well, (under the car) run the fuel lines across from the tank, to the low pres' pump, to the surge tank, back from the surge tank, to the high pressure pump, and back to the fuel feed line. if you get under there and look youll see. its not easy, it is definately tight, but ive done it before.

there is another solution, but it involves permanently modifying the rear sheet metal of your car. ill have pics of that in a month or so..

Great idea on the coil bracket. I think theres plenty of space under an 86 for pumps and surge tanks, sure its tricky but its very doable. Anyway for those who dont want to go to my forum heres a pic of what your talking about:

tank to the right and panhard rod mount to the left. Thats a 2.5inch pipe and I will be getting rid of it shortly and if someone wants it let me know.

Heres where I will probably be mounting my pump, notice my dodgy home made mount. I think theres enough space for two pumps end to end inbetween the tank and the panhard rod. Looking at the above pic if two were mounted one would go higher and to the left of the position of what I am holding it and the outlet would come under the tank strap, the other would be next to it, end to end.

Also nobody has mentioned it but I have heard of people putting it above the diffs axel tube. On the passeneger side the exhaust normally runs but the other side its free and theres a suprisingly large amount of space for use there even on a very low car with chopped bump stops. Yet another place where fuel pumps and a small surge tank can be all fitted is where the factory rear muffler is, if a straight pipe was to go through there instead on one side it would free up a considerable amount of space, not that I would recomend that though...

Bobski: I am in the S.E suberbs of Vic, as for your questions I will PM you, too off topic.
