True Classic
Forgot to ever update this - the pump was fine, it was the (new) Volvo 7mm ID fuel hose I used, QC clearly isn't what it used to be.
Replace with with a piece of nitrile line
Driving the pickup to Ithaca NY for a car show this weekend, so I changed the oil, checked over the engine bay - found the breather hose ruptured (again) . Can't get an OEM one anymore. I cut a length of stock Volvo breather hose (949701, still available) doesn't matter about the dogleg
The midgate had started to rattle over bumps, so I addressed the guide stops - middle left - the bumper was gone, I cut a piece of soft tubing & inserted that
same situation for the tailgate, not that that was rattling though
After that I decided to make the taillight bulb covers I never made, and deal with the fuel filler neck cover. I just used a scrap wheel arch liner.
Not pretty, but good enough
This what I had over the filler neck, a cut down section of the interior panelling
I cut some more sections of the wheel arch liner, plastic welded them togther
Much tidier
Then I covered it with vinyl
Finally, the spare tire rattles around sometimes, the anchor didn't work as it was intended for a steel wheel.
I sleeved two together with a piece of 1/2 copper & a 3/8 NPT section solder to the end so the taper was inboard. The point was I need the sections to hold together
now it retains the wheel
