So, is this anal or what?

Love the look of those old Stewart Warner 240-A fuel pumps from the 60's. Bought a few on e-bay over the years with the thought of rebuilding them. Even with the available parts on-line and the excellent instructions on the GT40 forum, the pumps I bought were beyond rebuilding, mostly due to bad corrosion.

I really wanted to mount a pair in my trunk, even for "show", then I got thinking. So with a little on-line research and some inventing, I got an idea.

I gutted a couple of the pumps and mounted a modern inline electric fuel pump inside and fashioned some prototype "plumbing" and voila - see pics.

I'll nickel plate the top and bottom pieces, paint the body the right color (?) and do the plumbing in stainless.

The result should be two working, modern inside, vintage looking outside, pumps.

Now that is anal !!!!!!!
