Hi all,
I'm replacing an injection pump on an 84 rabbit and I now can't for the life of me figure out what this small, pressed-steel bracket is for (don't laugh).
It's very lightweight, and has a single small stud pressed in to one arm, with a hole for another bolt on the other arm.
The hole/stud are about the same length apart as the bolt holes on the front mounting bracket of the pump, but I can't figure out how that would go together since the stud in the bracket would get in the way of one of the regular, heavier IP mounting bolts.
Help?
figured it out. What a weird design- it's basically an alignment bracket that holds the bottommost stud/bolt in place, in a place where you couldn't get a wrench normally.
That stud is how the bottommost of the three mounting "bolts" in the front is attached. Did they design this pump for another engine originally?
Isnt their three of those?they triangulate the mounting surface of the IP.
hmmm, that'd be bad news, I definitely didn't have three on this one. I assume they'd both connect to the one stud I just described?

No, there is only 1 like that and you already figured out why they did it and you're right
