There are two different fuel pumps for the Spitfire 1500 and Midget 1500.
Early pumps have a so-called straigth pump lever. The distance from the lever to the support is approx. 48 mm. The petrol pumps of the later models have a curved pump lever. The distance from the lever to the support is approx. 52 mm.
Please note: Only the late fuel pumps with the curved pump lever are fitted to the engine block with a 13 mm thick spacer block; on early models, the fuel pump is screwed directly to the engine block.
