Old school Mazda's / Re: S122A project commencing
Last post by Eccentric shaft - June 22, 2026, 07:43:32 PMMeanwhile, the home-made fuel pump bracket is nearing completion. Based on a spare bracket for the window washer bottle, plus a double layer of stainless steel band sandwiching a thin layer of rubber. The other thick rubber piece added above the pump itself will hopefully reduce the noise levels. Not exactly a beauty, but nobody will ever get their head up under that rear wing anyway. 
Next question is how to do the fuel line layout. The original setup has the fuel line going all the way around the pump. Not sure what's the point of that. 🤔 I'm tempted to shorten and simplify it a bit. But it would be nice to keep enough hose to allow the fuel filter to be lifted into the boot through the inspection hatch when changing it. The opening at the bottom of the wing will be closed off with a home-made panel. Preferably made from some sort of plastic material.

Last post by Eccentric shaft - June 22, 2026, 07:10:10 PMThe Hose from Hell is out! Wedged in above the fuel filler pipe, between the wheel arch and the wing. Such a tiny space, and full of muck, of course. By the looks of it, it's been there since 1972, so high time it is replaced!

Thanks for the flow tip! What you say about the noise supports my latest plan of making a bracket for the pump, similar to the original, but with an added layer of rubber between the bracket and the boot floor.

Last post by clive - June 16, 2026, 06:25:10 PMI have used these on the RX-4 and sell these filters for gen 1 cars.
You will see where the arrow is that I cut this off at each end to help flow.
For the fuel pump make sure its rubber mounted properly as they are very noisy compared to the Mazda pump

Have a good time tomorrow and at Brooklands. I hope the weather and show at Brooklands is as good, or better, than last year. Sad to be missing it
