230 with a short fuel pump - protector modifications
« on: May 27, 2024, 23:13:05 »
When I purchased my 230, it had a short fuel pump without a pump protector.  There are two styles of pump protectors available.  One has the cutouts and brackets that are designed for a 230 but I assume  the holes in the prorector are for a long pump.  The other one is designed for the short fuel pump but the cutouts and brackets do not fit my 230.  What have you done to install a fuel pump protector on a 230 with a short fuel pump?

Alex, I installed a short fuel pump on my early 230sl and I bought a grommet to cover up the unused hole: https://www.sl113.org/forums/index.php?topic=20760.msg147393#msg147393. hope this helps, Charles
