The cooling pump bracket was made from 3/16” aluminum plate and 1/8” right-angle aluminum. Two of the pump’s mounting flanges are offset, so aluminum spacers were machined on a lathe. I had Abe weld them to the bracket because that reduces the number of things that I can lose by two;-) The bottom two holes are mounted through the 2” x 2” chassis tube with long M8 screws. The top screw is an M8 into a rivnut located in the top of the chassis tube.
As can be seen below the pump is slammed to the bottom of the car. This provides the inlet with the maximum amount of gravity feed from the radiator, keeps it’s center of gravity as low as possible and it allows the outlet to clear the cold air box.
The next step is to fabricate the inlet and outlet
