everyone with a FBH should check the bracket and pump under the car, they are prone to rust.

Purchase one of these and you will not have the trouble after.

Funny enough, I would have thought so too Steve.
But I just resurrected SLZ today, after 6 months or so sitting at my mothers, with battery disconnected. (Started on first turn of the key &#128515

.
I’m sure I only fitted my fbh pump with this rubber bracket about a year ago.
But when I took the car to my own house I noticed something hanging low on the rear of the car. Sure enough, the rubber mount has perished and spilt. It’s not as though it’s under any pressure, but looks like I’ll have to construct a new holder.🙄

Hi Sean.
Wow i am surprised about that, i have fitted about three of these now over the last five years, and not heard of this before now? i wonder if there are different types

Thinking about it now it would be easy to make a bracket out of some alloy to fit round the pump, or even round your rubber bracket.
