Fuel pump cradle
Does anyone make an aftermarket solution for the FC?
I seen this for the first time today, the lid does look pretty close to our FCs, but its a surge tank says you must use another pump.

I currently have a submerged bosch 044 pump on the factory cradle.
I have taken everything out of the undercarriage and cleaned, blasted, powder coated or painted it. New bushings, mounts, brake and fuel lines, the works. Took the tank out as well, cleaned it, powdercoated it.
I have bulkhead fittings to run my new fuel lines but i would prefer to use a new hanger which mazda does not sell and as far as i can tell no one makes any solutions for an FC. I honestly dont want to invest anything else into That thin piece of rusted stamped steel that is there now.
Nikewankel- what is your plan are you hand cutting a piece of steel or a cnc alum?
Im waiting for the dimensions of the coachman unit because i want to be able to still pull it out from the trunk and not have to cut a larger hole in my trunk to do so.

I know they have submersible hose but I already burst one on the dyno luckily I was not driving and get stranded or under boost while on the dyno.
Im having a sump welded in my tank while its out, I could cut and weld something into the top of the tank as well but I dont want to lose access to the pump and lines when its all installed back in the car

ok I noticed on their facebook page this conversation in regards to the FD unit when someone asked if they would make one for an FC:
"We have not made one for the FC yet. If we could gather up 6+ guys who wanted one, and somebody could send me a stock sending unit... I am not opposed to making a batch of them! If its as simple to construct as the FD version, it would only take up to a month"
one of the guys interested seems to be right across the street from them this could work out well for us- so who is ready to go forward and commit?

I just bought a combination of AN fittings that I believe will eliminate any rubber hose ( which is slightly offset as im sure you are aware of ) in the tank and bulkhead fittings that I will have to drill the lid out to use.
I know they have submersible hose but I already burst one on the dyno luckily I was not driving and get stranded or under boost while on the dyno.

If I go sump, I would go with something like this Fuel Sump Kit - Full-Race.com and mount the 044 externally.
