It is solid mounted and right behind the driver seat in the back :lol: that doesn't help! Need to get some isolated rubber mounts for it, that will quieten it down.

There won't be a fuel return. The webber doesn't have one, just fuel in. The fuel return is off the pump on the propper carb'd 1.3 and 1.6s.

I bought a generic thing from my local factors. It makes a horrible noise because it's hard mounted to the inside of the chassis just forward of the tank - I really need to mount it using rubber mounts (ala t-case mounts) instead.
