Mashby Posted April 25, 2018 Report Share Posted April 25, 2018 Hi, I am confused. I bought a replacement fuel pump for my 1360 and it’s not the same as the one on the car (see photos). Is this a pump from a different Triumph? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Lewis Posted April 26, 2018 Report Share Posted April 26, 2018 Both pics seem to show the same pump, ?? There are a whole range of differeing designs from the variety of suppliers , the important bit is the length and angle of the cam lever and The indexing of the inlet outlet unions to match your installation If your original had a plastic heat spacer between block and pump the replacement will probably need this removing and shorter studs fitting So yes there are many different pumps for the same job Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mashby Posted April 26, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2018 Thanks Pete, yes they are both the same pump just one was a close up. Thanks for the advice I just hadn’t seen this type of pump for sale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Lewis Posted April 27, 2018 Report Share Posted April 27, 2018 The pic is an originall AC not , made now, only varieties of replicas or often very different designs Could be available as new old stock Kits for the ac are avaiable diaphragms are easy but the valves will be coined /staked in and not easily replaced Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of the cheap repro ones look as if the lever has been punched from sheet with a die that's seen better days and thrown straight in the plating bath without deburring! http://www.spitbits.com/store/18-OE-Quality-FUEL-PUMP-with-lever-and-gasket-MK1-MK3-SPIT-P4892.aspx Apparently they also keep a repair kit for it. I don't suppose you know of any uk based supplier who stock something of this quality? David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Lewis Posted April 27, 2018 Report Share Posted April 27, 2018 Yes ive seen some with a cam follower looking like a bit cut from a ww2 tank trap Some are awfull some hardly pump, find one with a cast lever and your lucky, Keep an eye for an old glass top and youre more than luck and you can swap levers on them As for where from ...its pot luck Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Lindsay Posted April 27, 2018 Report Share Posted April 27, 2018 Quite a few of the glass-top models on eBay, service kits including the brass filter are available from suppliers, but I suppose in order to change the lever over you have to actually have a proper one in the first place....
