Access door to change fuel pump - 4th Gen
#17
Amen, i got the door cut in 20-25 minutes, pulled the pump assembly, found it was that stupid EFI rubber hose i put in, it swelled at the pump end that i didn't clamp do to no room, so for now i installed a piece of steel braided i had, was also able to get a clamp on that end, so there clamped on both, pump pressure is now at 45 at idle, 50 off the reg., i installed an adj. reg., that thing comes in so handy, just like the door, looks like its fixed for now , love the 4.11s, it kicks it pretty good. Now that it has the 9" & custom driveshaft with BMR torque arm, should be ready to rock & roll without breakage

I did this a couple of years ago. Worked perfectly! I just drilled a starter hole in one corner (careful pushing the drill, there's a gas tank under there!), then used tin snips to cut the rectangular opening. I did notice that on all of the pics I've seen of the procedure, the pump and fittings are located directly under the small bump that is the backside of the stamped ID number on the bottomside of the sheetmetal. It was that way with mine as well, although I wouldn't count on that. I'd still make a few small holes and look around first, just to get the opening placement right. Also, I used a Door Kick Plate bought at Home Depot as my cover. Just cut it down to the proper length, the width is already good, 8 inches I think, and attach it with some silicone and self-tapping sheet metal screws (SHORT ONES! Remember there's a gas tank ... well, you know).

I am highly considering this for my FP replacement. I have been kind of weary of cutting the car but dropping the rear to change the pump is not something I am looking forward to.
EDIT: Kevin or -Vellu, would any of you be interested in fabbing up another access cover and selling it to me?
