If you decide on using a Holley Blue or Red pump, they also come with a round clamp that grips the cylinder type body of the pump. Here is a couple of pictures of a mounting system that you could use on your application. Its somewhat flexible and protects the pump body from mechanical hazards.

One thing that should be noted when installing an electric fuel pump is that if you should have an accident or a roll over that the pump will keep on pumping as long as the ignition is 'ON'. Therefore, I would recommend that some sort of 'Inertia interrupter' or rollover switch, be installed to shut off the fuel pump for this very reason. For a couple bucks at the wreckers, you can usually find one a late model Mustang, located in the trunk area by removing some of the trim panels by the left tail light you'll see a small plastic box with two wires and a red reset button. Install this inline from the pump to the ignition switch and you'll have the same protection as the newer Ford cars enjoy. | One thing that should be noted when installing an electric fuel pump is that if you should have an accident or a roll over that the pump will keep on pumping as long as the ignition is 'ON'.
