Fuel pump

Could anyone suggest a good replacement fuel pump. My p6 is currently fitted with an aftermarket electric pump which came with the car, leaks all over the place, has seen better days. I remember on here a few years back someone talking about replacement pumps which looked quite retro, can’t remember the manufacturer though. Any suggestions would be very much appreciated.
 
Another vote for the above, an excellent upgrade. Super quiet and the re-positionable pipes make them easy to fit.
The only issue I have with mechanical fuel pump is if the car is left for a week or more the fuel level drops in the filter chamber and it takes quite a bit of turning over of the engine over to start it. Once used everyday it’s no problem to start and I have not encountered cavitation so far over the years.

Still though the electric pump does appeal to me when the car is left for long periods, and with potential cavitation always possible. Did you fit yours, front or rear?
 
That looks identical to the huco 133010. Is it the same? I had issues with the huco overwhelming the carbs as have some others due to it's spikey fuel pressure.... A regulator has fixed mine.

dont know about huco, but we have never needed a pressure reg, as the fuel system has a return i would only expect flooding problems if the pump was way over zealous or teh foats/float valves had issues
 
Would any of you be able to share some photos of their installation? If no photos then a description of their system used including where they have taken power from it?
 
I put mine in the bit of space behind the servo, the idea being to minimise the length of the fuel line in the engine bay. It works well but I'm considering moving it so I can fit an expansion tank. I can't remember exactly where I took the power from. If it wasn't dark I'd go out and check, but anywhere appropriately live with the ignition on I suppose. It is wired through one of these inertia switches:

which is mounted inside the car behind the driver's side glovebox. This is essential, because an electric pump will keep running after an accident even if the engine stops. These switches cost nothing second hand.

The fuel pump itself is mounted using two rubber cotton bobbin things to stop noise being transmitted into the car, but the pump runs so smoothly and quietly I'm not sure that's even necessary.

The cutout is a good idea, and a trip to my local scrappy will for sure come up with one of them. Interesting approach on the location of your fuel pump as I was thinking it would have to be somewhere beside the coil, who knows perhaps tucked up somewhere beside the wiper motor even?
