lookalike FISPA

Moss Motors in California sell a fuel pressure regulator/filter unit that looks somewhat like a FISPA from back in the day of original GT40s. I ordered one; the only problem I see is that the inlet and outlet sizes are limited to 5/16", at least unless you want to take it apart and do a lot of machining. The FISPA regulators seem to be available through Italian car parts sites, but cost like the devil. This one was about $100 US- not too bad if it looks the part and does the job. It also has a regulator range of about 3-9 lbs/sq.in., which would work well with Webers. MG, Triumph, Austin-Healey, Jaguar, Classic British Car Restoration Parts & Accessories - Moss Motors, Ltd., I think.

I forgot to mention that the instructions, which appear to be translated from some other language, are almost funny enough to be worth the price alone.

Hey Jimbo,

Did you try these guys? website-

I looked. The one from Moss is almost identical, made in Italy, and about a third of the price. It doesn't take screw-in fittings, either, which is a negative, but I think will work fine.

Chris the ones in your picture are the common type fitted to Alfas.
The GT40 type have bigger bore 'straight through' connections and the pre-set pressure is different.

Hi James, what application(s) were the 'GT40' type used on?

Thanks

Chris

FISPA FRB11's and the like were fitted to Ferraris

Nice thread on FRB11s on the ALFA forum.

Thanks James,

FilterKing do make one that looks like the correct FISPA but it isn't sold here in the states, at least not that I can find. The one I have is not the straight-through one.
