How Can I Fit A Bosch 044 Fuel Pump To My Fd

last week I rung a company and asked for a bigger fuel pump because I am having an apexi power fc, I was told that a good fuel pump to go for is the bosch 044 and they sed that it is a in tank fuel pump, so I bought it. I have took my sender unit out today and the bosch fuel pump will not fit in place of my original pump.
How am I going to be able to run my bosch fuel pump and what fitting will I have to buy?
Has any one got any pics of how they have mounted theirs

i have the same problem at the momnet, i unpluged the stand fuel pump then cut of the nobe the standard pump use to plug into. from there i used fuel hose to join the two, i clammed it up at both ends and hose clamped the pump to the bracket.
only problem i have now if the fuel hose i used expanded due to petrol touching the outsides of the hose in the tank.
anyone got any ideas of whats fuel hose to use?

Just so you are warned - the 044 is a loud pump and you will hear it whining away. No first hand experience (I run mine off a swirl pot), but I have been told by more than one source that you really do not want the fuel gauge too close to the 1/4 mark on track.

just so you guys know Ford does make a special fuel injection (high pressure) hose that is designed to be submerged in gas. Surgemonster fitted that pump without alot of hassle, except it still leaned out on the dyno, as did a supra pump, and a walboro pump..... oh the memories...

Concur, the motorsport in-tanks are the 040 and 023.
