Default How I mounted my fuel pump

Just wanted to show how I mounted my fuel pump on my second gen camaro, should work the same on just about any car with fuel tank straps. I'm sure this is nothing new but I was thinking of how I wanted to mount mines for 2 days and came up with this. Please give me your input.

Can't really make out what you have going. But if it works for you.. that is all you need from us.

Placement is good because in and out are below the tank. Can't really tell about attachment though. Looks like it will be loud because of no rubber isolators. Just remember pumps like to push fuel and not pull if you decide to move it.

I mounted a pump the same way back in the 90's when I had a Holley Pro-jection. Worked fine for me too.

There is actually rubber between the mount and straps and also between the pump and mount. Damn $500 phone takes crappy pics. Thanks for you guys input figured it was a good location but never hurts to have others opinions.

How loud is this setup?
How is it working out?
Can we get a few more pics with more light?

all i did was take a piece of flat stock ( prob 1/8'' x 1'' ) and mounted it to the fuel tank straps. this pump is dead quiet ( holley hp125 ) and does not require a regulator for a carb setup, seriously with the car off and the key on i cant hear it over my ls1 fan
