Anyone had the misfortune to snap off the 90 degree fuel outlet elbow?

If so did you manage to get the part?

my mate did the pipe split repair last week, when you get that part put the hose on first.

It's more 'IF' I get that part.

Have put a wanted advert up for an old duff pump ..... surely someone will have one

Paying £280 for a fuel pump for a couple of quid part just isn't exciting me much

Plastic weld ?

I would trim those supprt tabs back on the remaining piece and then see if I could get the fuel pipe on the stub and hold it on with a hose clip, if you cannot just buy the broken part I would try anything before dropping 280 quid.

Find someone / machine shop with a lathe. First turn the part with the O rings on but leave a large end where the elbow is. Drill and tap (1/8 BSP) and you can then screw a standard pipe nipple in.

If BSP tap not available then turn both parts out of brass and solder them together.

You might find someone at your local technical college can do it for a few £

If you go to a hydraulic or pneumatic fittings supplier the may be able to tap a hole in you existing fitting and screw a new elbow in.

A few years ago I made a similar fuel filter connector for my car as list price for part (a bit of pipe with banjo fitting) was £139 + VAT.

Did you manage to fix this ?

Not fixed yet .... have sent an e-mail to Bitron in Italy but not really expecting a reply. An engineer friend of mine with CNC machine has offered his services so it looks like thats the way I'm going to go .... reckon I might get a few spares done too .... just in case

Please keep us informed, I am interested in the end result

An engineer friend of mine made an outlet for us which fitted well but we managed to get an original one from a faulty pump so ended up ok in the end

Good job, new powdercoat and sticker job looks great by the way

Id get your cnc mate to make an ally one
