    Where can I buy the 6mm threaded rubber cotton reel mounts that support Mk1 / Mk2(?) / Scirocco fuel pumps?

    Are there any aftermarket sources? Are they still available from VAG?

    I noticed that exhaust rubbers on old Renaults are pretty similar, but slightly longer, and might be able to get hold of a stash of these, if they're hard to get hold of.

    Halfords has some cotton reel mounts in the generic exhaust hangers section but not sure on the size. I used them to mount the redtop pump I have.

    the ones I saw in halfords are 8mm and about twice the size of the std ones. They could be adapted, but the space round the Scirocco pump is a bit tight.

    How much are they from the stealer? The guy on the bay, and CBS are not cheap. My local garage guy is getting me the renault ones for 1 each. I'll see if they're any good and maybe get him to order a few more.
