Red Mist in Blandford seem to possibly have closed however Anders Hildebrand, former Managing Director of Spectre Cars Ltd, is still active. His company, Anglo American Oil are, as far as I know, still going strong. Worth contacting perhaps?

These guys. https://chandlerybarge.com/funnels-primer-bulbs-fuel-transfer/6617-walbro-frb-series-fuel-pumps-frb5-1.html I now have two on the shelf

In my opinion each feed should have a non-return valve before the Y piece to prevent any risk of return flow. However, these are lift pumps with 48" capacity so their resistance to return flow should be pretty good. Not an expensive way to cutout whatever back flow risk may exist. I'm looking at...

Both pumps have a 70 micron filter screen. The only difference I can see is the deadhead pressure. 6.0-8.0 on the FRB13 vs 8.0-11.0 on the FRB5.

Similarly my plan is one pump per tank complete with bypass pressure regulator per pump. If there's room (and I think there is) I'll install them in the void between fuel tank and engine bay - all a matter of keeping clear of the lower suspension arm. The outlet from the regulator feeding to a...

As I've spent the last week looking into carbureted fuel pumps this is very interesting. I considered the Walbro FRB5-1 as a potential but discounted it for the following reason : The pump has a flow of 170 litres (45 GPH) and a pressure of 8.0-11.0 PSI. My engine will be in the 400 BHP area so...

Did a volume check on my SGT tanks and internally the are 32 litres (7 UK gallons). That doesn't take into account volume loss for baffles or safety foam.

Thanks JP. Looks like I'll be having a chat with him about a few things and likely making some expensive purchases.

No idea how I'd contact Mick now that he's retired. Just assumed that the old SGT contact numbers and e-mails would have ended now.

Trying to work out exactly how to plumb up the fuel system on a Southern GT. I've a pair of Mick's fuel tanks supplied before his retirement and not 100% certain why it has all the various piping points. Front end of tank is simple with a filler inlet and small diameter vent pipe outlet. Back...

I know there are many fuel pump options available but here's another potential that I'm considering. Anyone out there have any experience of their external carburetter application pumps? Looking at using a pair of them with Malpassi regulators on a 347 motor. Range is 7 psi / 97 GPH up to 14...

Was one one of the 1st items considered but is currently out of stock and has been for a while I believe.

Probably for a while. I got two built at the same time by Chris Cole have sort of covered the 1st failure. However, the spare isn't the same ratio and is non-LSD but will do while no.1 box gets rebuilt. What is the 361 transaxle you've got normally used with? I'm sure I've heard of these but...

Just remembered that I'll be in San Francisco for our daughters graduation in May. Probably going to bring it back in luggage. I wonder if I can squeeze a 347 stroker kit in as well :D

Thanks Morten. That rules out Moroso for me as I don't have lowered floor pans and Moroso don't seem to make shallow pans. Seems like I'm going to have to stick with the Aviaid item and work out a way to reduce the $500 shipping charges on a $595 part. As an aside, whatever came of that Porsche...

That all seems to make sense. Looking at my flywheel it doesn't appear particularly small. I'll get a tape measure on it once I've battled my way passed all the stuff in the way!

The 55360 GT40 pan is for small flywheel and the 55362 for larger "standard" flywheels. Other dimensions are the same. Looks like I'd better identify what the flywheel specification is that Mick supplied. I wasn't aware that it may be a small diameter type as per original GT40 but better...

Thanks David. Presumably that's using one of the 155-55362 Original 289 Daytona Coupe Pans that they have available. Can you confirm?

Can anyone advise on what the maximum oil pan height can be for a SGT build without the pan extending below the chassis rails? I know that the SGT with a ZF box requires a very shallow pan as the engine is mounted very low. Seems like a huge cost difference in the UK for an oil pan when going...

Looks like a good old standard Facet Red Top pump. Google search that and you'll find virtually every UK motorsport supplier will be able to supply you a replacement. Be careful of the e-bay ones as they aren't always made in the USA!
