Cool, I have some Gates hose that I used to rebuild the transfer pump, I’ll see if one of those fits.

(Main Fuel Pump Assembly) As long as you use high quality fuel hose, like Gates, you should be fine. The only possible issue could be that the factory hose is metric in terms of ID. You used to be able to buy factory spec hose by the foot from the dealership parts department, but that was years ago, before cars became so modular in their design. I would use a micrometer to measure the OD of the nipple that the hose connects to, and convert the measurement to fractional, and pick the closest available hose from the local auto parts place. ~Holland On Apr 3, 2016 14:15, "Larry Velez" <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: I am almost done with the restoration of my main fuel pump.

(Main Fuel Pump Assembly) Went to Fastenal this morning (7:30am open time works well for me) Picked up 4 of the 9 metal pieces on this thing. All in stainless. Now just missing the banjo bolts, metal sleeves and a flange nut I am surprised they didn't have. True Value is my next stop and maybe McMaster. Might as well put all new hardware on this thing at this point. I'll summarize what size it all is so someone in the future can order all this stuff more easily. -------- Original message -------- From: Larry Velez Date:02/29/2016 12:44 PM (GMT-05:00) To: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Subject: RE: [mk2-16v] Rust Resistance on Restored Fasteners and Metal? (Main Fuel Pump Assembly) Thanks for the tips Jack. I was thinking of using Por15 on the bracket (Por15 seems to have a lot of fans) but I will also look at Rustoleum Hammered. I’ll check my local True Value for their fastener selection. These guys also seem to have retail stores but I have never been to one: https://www.fastenal.com/ I’ll see what I can find there, and if not I’ll use Holland’s trick to paint the tops of the fasteners and coat the threads with LocTite Blue.

(Main Fuel Pump Assembly) WD40 evaporates quickly but for temporary protection it would suit although I'd use P'Blaster as it leaves a film that does not go away and actually lubricates. That's why it does such a nice job in protecting electrical connections. Rustoleum Hammered would be my choice for the final paint, especially since you already have it primered. That stuff is a take-off of an old British product called Hammerite that was sold here in the U.S. until VOC regulations got it banned. It is, however, back and Sherwin-Williams stores now carry it. As far as replacement hardware goes, I've always used new Stainless nuts, bolts, washers, etc. along with LocTite Blue (Medium strength) so that disassembling them at some point in the future will be relatively easy. Using LocTite RED usually requires a blowtorch and an Act of God to get them loosened!! Most local hardware stores that carry Hillman or Midwest Fasteners products should be a good source. After I retired I spent 10 years working for a local True Value and their selection was all Midwest Fasteners and rarely was I forced to go elsewhere. Their "Nuts & Bolts" area consisted of two 40 foot aisles lined on both sides with everything imaginable. Good luck.......Jack On 29 Feb 2016, at 11:25, Larry Velez wrote: Any tips on how to move forward from this point would be welcome. I will spray the bracket with rustoleum now that it is primered and I sprayed the fasteners with WD40 for now, but I’m thinking I need something more permanent before it all goes back under the car. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MK2-16v" group.
