you dont use the sock with the 040 pump.

Also when you mount the 040 to the stock bracket you goto make sure you mount it pretty low on the bracket otherwise you'll run out of petrol when you have like 1/8 - 1/4 of a tank left.

how low till it touches the 90 deg angel? or should i bend that and mount it lower?

[justin911]

i cut the angle piece off but i guess u could bend it back. You need to get it mounted pretty low and angle thingy is in the way. If you search around or check the DIY a few ppl have posted pics of theres mounted to the bracket to see how she looks

the sock is mounted to the bottom of the fuel pump with a rubber hose and a clamp over it, its just a filter.

10 inches from flange where the big oring is to the bottom of the 040. If you need ta talk about it, give me a call on 0404336106.

Only to glad to talk you through it.
