Petrol Pump Help - GNott - 31-03-2019

Hello all,

I'm new to Austin Seven Friends and need some help.  I have what I am told is a 1938 Austin Seven Ute (Utility).  I bought this car when I was in Australia.  The coachwork is from a company called TJ Richards & Sons in Australia.

Sadly, when I first brought it home I had some work done to the engine and the "mechanic" replaced the petrol (fuel) pump with a 6 volt electric pump.  Also, he lost the original mechanical pump.  Unfortunately, he also changed the electric system to negative ground - but putting that right is a project for future.  I was pretty unhappy.

I am searching for a petrol pump.  Not sure where to begin.  I am told that some pumps will fit but that the actuator arm needs to be correct or it can do some damage.

I would be very appreciative if someone can assist or point me in the right direction for the correct pump.  I can take photos of the engine block and blanked hole for the pump if need be.

Thank you in advance!

Graham
