Try CJ @ Synrospares for arm. You can get stainless steel tank straps from someone in Holland (What's he called lad's) I need some too!

Jager, Mike Plompen and Gunzel all do the stainless straps.

Good point - Dunno!
The diesel doesn't require the electric pump support strap on lhs, which hadn't occurred to me before, so till i go look, assume they're two r/h straps

I'll adjust that to petrol - 1.9 carb, 2.1 injected... as there is no 'leccy fuel pump on the 1.9.... :wink:

Check the pump for corrosion? They leak when bad :(

I've got a rear arm if you still need one.

I'm on the Isle of Man so postage might be a few quid but sholdn't be to bad.

£30 + what ever the postage is sound ok?
