Anyone mount External fuel pump?

Yep, but here is what I’m up against. The car came to me unfinished, and tank empty, thoroughly cleaned. The picture here is where a 5/16 hole drilled into the sender base plate for the pos and neg wires. Note only a rubber grommet used … so im sure once fuel gets to that level it will pour out. I’ve searched and searched for a gas proof leak proof fitting to use there, but all are about 3/4 hole needed. The base plate is not exactly flat, that hole size will not seal. Hence my wanting to go externalView attachment 1938356View attachment 1938357

Get some gas tank sealer epoxy. Remove the grommet, and pack both sides around the wire with the epoxy.

He better make sure that the wires are not hard against that hole edge.....or it might not go well.

Better idea would be to get a pair of metal (brass or steel) studs with insulators to pass through the face of that sender unit - just like the factory did it with the OE sender resistor wire. Trouble is that the sender unit is limited for space.

I can only see pain and problems in the picture posted.
