Title: Blanking plate.
Post by: grubscrew on November 24, 2012, 04:56:42 PM

Anyone know a good source of blanking plates in place of the fuel pump, Ive had a look on line but other than Nanni, of whom is difficult to deal with , any ideas, or even any one who may have one they dont want, thankyou. Mike.

With Nanni isn't hard to deal 8) They just don't deal. ;D They don't answer a single word on inquiry, no matter the language you are asking in. Just fill in the form and await 7 days. Only urgent courier and cash on delivery, so if the stuff is 20 in the site, you will pay 30 in total and that's it. I did it twice.

That was the other option, but not having a 4 or 5 mm thick ally sheet it would have been "a no brainer", as the saying goes apparantly, as its cheaper to have a kind chap do the job, and a mighty fine piece he has done. Mike.

I think fuel pumps are a standard item. if you go onto other spares sites you may get what you need. The mini one looks similar.
