I think Bosch is original equipment supplier for Ford. Better hurry as theirs only one left.
Well thanks for mentioning that, now they are all gone.
Whoever got it, cheers
 






I might get static for this but I’ve used Spectra premium fuel pumps with decent success. I installed the full assembly in my 93 Explorer in 2020 and it still works well, but again I don’t drive mine very much.
 






I found a bosch unit, thanks for the heads up. Doesn't seem to come with o-ring or lock ring, so i'll have to get that separately
 






I think i figured out how i'm going to mount this-
Going to weld a wider piece of scrap steel to the notched end of 1 of the straps. Hopefully that will allow the strap to engage in the wider part of the slot in the frame, at the bottom. Tank def needs to drop down though, to accommodate. Will need to be bent as well, to clear wiring and brake line.
 






Welp i got double screwed. On the bosch unit that i "found"
I just got an email that they had an inventory problem so i'm now looking for a decent manufacturer for this part.
I'm seeing Delphi, i'm not sure if it's decent or not.
I'm seeing a lot of no-name, really cheap units but i don't want to have to do this job again anytime soon.
Can anyone recommend a decent brand?
Thanks in advance.
 












You could look for a 2nd gen strap. They use the same size tank, and rear strap. In fact the 2nd gens use a 1st Gen skid plate if it was on it originally (not all 2nd gens had them). Front mount will be different.
