I used one of those with some gasket paper, everything lined up perfectly and hasnt leaked a drop
This was on a 1256

Posted: Mon Oct 30, 2023 4:39 amI have an 1159 and I used a blanking plate for a Mini/Minor/MGB/Sprite etc. BMC part number 2A265. I suppose fuel pumps had a common design across many manufacturers because it was a perfect fit.
My old mechanical fuel pump was kaput so I fitted an electric pump and blanked off the hole on the engine. I really like having the electric one as the car now starts immediately, even after sitting for weeks.
cheers,
Ben
