Can I retrofit fuel pump on type 44 with 43mm one?

[Kneale Brownson]

Just to be clear, Konstantine, you don't want the mounting fixture from an S-car tank, you want one from a 1991 200 (or possibly a V8) tank.  Should be available from the used parts suppliers.  I've never seen a separate part number for the mounting.  Someone who's going to throw away a leaking fuel tank could get you that part easily.

piece of plastic cost. Do you know? S-car piece probably should have 
roughly the same cost, I think.
