Broken bracket Fuel Pump Yanmar 4BY

[Brian B]

I elongated the holes with a 5/16” drill bit about a strong 1/16” to the outside edge of the holes. This allows the bracket to align with the existing welded nuts on the ECU. I put the clamp in a vise to hold it.
Both of my clamps were broken,there was no movement in the pump at all. If the new clamps break I will have second thoughts about replacing them unless the pump wasn’t secure.

Hi Brian, good deal, that’s probably the best option at this time because I’m sure we’re looking at a long lead time for the correct clamps. I might have overreacted in my last post because I didn’t take the time to read all the post about this issue. It looks like Yanmar is looking into this issue which is all we can ask.
