Apologies for the late response! I figured as much, just wanted to make sure.

Would you mind sharing a picture of that. I'll be in the garage tomorrow and amongst other things, intend to look at bracket options.

I'll try and get you a photo, but yes it mounts to an existing bracket for the lower mount, and I had to drill a hole through the bulkhead for the upper mount. I'll try and get you a photo, but it's pretty much as you described.

At the position where your feedthroughs are (the strut tower), the metal also seems rather thin. Did you reinforce it with some plate or are you happy enough how it is?

It is at least 2 walls, if not 3, of metal, it's quite solid, and the fittings have retaining nuts, it feels very solid. I'm not worried about it, but will obviously be keeping an eye on it.
For the wiring, the pump came mostly pre-wired with a main fused power and ground going direct to the battery, and then two activation wires that need 12 volts each. I found another person who used 2 wires at the ABS connector, one that has ignition switched 12V and one that has alternator switched 12V, so the pump only comes on when the engine is running, which is nice. Here is the pinout diagram that matches my connector, I see you've done some work in that area so yours may vary, I don't recall the wire colours, and it's all buttoned back up but I seem to recall blue/black being one?
