Made me a Fuel Sump Bracket

3 Apr 2022 Eric Hansen

Just built a bracket to mount the Edelbrock EFI fuel sump to the firewall. There’s a pinch-weld seam right where I wanted to mount it under the battery tray, so rather than destroy that, I made a ‘spacer’ mount for the sump unit. Turned out OK, it’ll look better once I paint it and mount it all up, and I can’t help thinking about how much nicer it might’ve turned out if I only had a real shop with some actual metal working tools to use (like a brake, big bench vise, etc.). Oh well – it’ll work. Also got the new hatch struts installed. No pics, but if you’ve ever seen a Jeep hatchback open and not falling down, you’ve seen ’em all.

Here’s another piece of the same sheet of perforated sheet metal I used on my rack-mount server fan bulkhead last year. Just 3.75 sheets of the stuff left. LOL!
Fits like a glove. Works like a champ. (Insert victorious old adage here).
It’s not really bent that badly – cell phone camera pic. It’ll look better when it’s painted and mounted up for real.
