Low Pressure fuel pump

Rear fuel pump bracket, it comes pre-drilled with 4x holes - the one under the black filter needs opening up to 9mm for a rivnut, and then one on the right which is meant for the fuel pump - however I moved the pump a little to the right, its rear most mounting point also screws into the chassis & is not pre-drilled so must line up correctly.

Note - hindsight - the output side of the LP pump will leak unless PTFE tape is used for the brass insert.

(I swapped the filter jubilee clip round after this picture to make sure I have access when the bracket is installed)

Chassis rivnuts in place - 9mm holes required:
Closest and left hand one are dictated by the pre-drilled holes in the bracket.
Right hand furthest is located as the back rubber mount on the pump.

The fuel pump and filter installed:

From above, as per the instructions ensuring the jubilee clips are accessible from above through the boot floor access panel.
