new member sayin "hi"

Hey guys been a guest here for a while just finally got around to joining. I live in Utah, 91 Toyota p/u. Ported polished heads, obligatory headgasket replacement, 6" lift by pro comp, k/n intake system, new fuel pump, new starter, optima battery, cooper discoverer stt 33"... I own a fab shop and i make custom offroad gear. You guys are brilliant and have helped me through some real tough repairs on my truck! Well nice to meet y'all! I do have questions about my fuel pump bracket so any experts on those around here?

Welcome to the forums!

I've got a 91 Pickup as well, I love it even though it's full of issues. Mine's mostly stock though. Good trucks though, they don't make 'em like that anymore.

That's what i think i might end up doing, summit racing has a real nice fuel filter that is 3/8s that would tuck up real nice in my frame and than i could just run straight sae to the banjo bout where i could get an adapter... Maybe im.thinkin with my ass haha

I use summit for almost all my parts, but also check jegs too. They had a better selection on fittings and adapters when I was looking for sae straight threads 45* to AN 37* adapters.

Yeah summit wants my first born for that adapter! I cant believe the prices! Jegs is who.i used to go through for my 73 chevy ss nova. Its seems like a solid plan though to go.with more readily available sae pipe. Why Toyota thinks these brackets are worth 150 is beyond me. When i broke it i was like a" whatever... Probably a 20 dollar part... Just run down.to.the junkyard and get a new one" that line of reasoning was flawed at best!
