V8 Defender fuel tank options

Ok folks, here's the finished article:

Fuel pump - for this I bought an OE pump from lrdirect, as well as an allmakes pump with assembly. Sadly there's not option for an OE pump together with assembly.

The one on the right is then the OE pump on the all makes assembly. 5cm of HP fuel hose extends the length, and the metal frame only has one screw in it, to allow the over extension.

You'll notice that the pattern pump had a different electrical connector on it. The spares to correct this came with the allmakes bundle.

Here's the AMR sender, with a few mods.. Bent the arm out slightly, cut the "return" pipe off to about 5cm long, slide on some HP fuel hose to direct the return fuel into the fuel pump well in the tank. Final mod.. Swap the plastic ball over to face the opposite side, so it doesn't catch on the well wall.

Here's the view of the pump from the sender hole:

In order to show the sender arrangement, I rigged up the pattern pump on a bit of fuel hose so you can see the arrangement:

You can just about make out the return hose near the bottom of the pump.

So, that's it. Many thanks for the help folks!
