You are right James. VAT & postage pretty well doubled the cost.
I used plumbers solder on the ferrule and when I soldered some brake pipe into the brass pipe this evening. Not bothered about the reduced capacity as it will suck up on the reserve pipe too.
Removing the fuel pump is very simple. Disconnect the fuel pipe unions (checking that they are still intact, of course!), undo the two nuts below the pump and pull away.
Perhaps I will have a working Bristol again tomorrow. Would RTV silicon or Hylomar be better for sealing the reserve unit onto the fuel tank?
