I am almost finished removing my pump but I cant get the cradle out so the pump is still stuck. I managed to unhook the pump out of its cradle but the cradle is still stuck to the bottom. The tutorial I am using says to lift a clip on the bottom of the cradle but I cant feel a definite clip. Does anyone have a pic of the clip side of the cradle, I need to visualise what I am putting my hand on.

There's not a clip as such, there's a mounting bracket on the floor of the fuel tank that the cradle hooks in to. IIRC you sort of push it down then left to get it out. I dont remember exactly, but its quite easy. You're probably assuming its more difficult than it actually is!

Yeah I am sure it is easy, I am just not doing it right. I just wish I could see what it looked like down there so I knew where to push it. Bloody tank is full as well so my hand is swimming in high octane fuel. How long can your skin be in fuel for? So you reckon push down on it and slide to the left?

It's on the drivers side facing the front on the tank

Ok im wrong then. I thought it was sort of on the bottom, drivers side, so you push down (to get it past the set of hooks) the left while keeping it down (towards passenger side) to slide it out. It was a few years ago now.

OP - give it a gentle push around to see which directions it will go. It should move say 5-10mm "down" to get past the hooks, then slide out.

    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
