Fuel Pump replacement questions

[Kneale Brownson]

I have a spare replacement Bosch pump I acquired when the new type of
smaller pumps I installed a year or so ago started making really loud
noises earlier this summer.  The small spare is not silver like that one,
it's black.  It has the hose clamp type outlet too, like the smaller one
pictured in the write-up on the size switch on Chris Miller's repair pages.

Anyway, this new Bosch one comes with a pair of male wiring connectors and
a plastic sleeve to turn them into a shielded connector.  The instructions
(imagine that, first Bosch product I've bought that had instructions)  say
in about 100 different languages to cut the connectors off the existing
wiring, which would be the circular ones I had to source and crimp onto the
wiring when I installed the first small pump, and crimp on these new
connectors with the sleeve in place to slide over them.  It indicates to
pay attention to the + and - markings on both pumps and be certain to
connect the newly adorned wires appropriately.

Anyway, regarding your hose, I decided after getting all the stuff together
for the first small pump installation that I just as well could have
snipped the banjo bolt fixture off at the pump end and installed a hose
clamp.  So you probably can do that too.
