Re: fuel pump
Hi Stu,
Not sure about the nut question.......
But as to the fuel pump you can repair:

Or replace:

Depending on your preference or what state you think your old one is in.
Best wishes,
Mike.

Re: fuel pump
Sorry it’s a guess, 5/8 AF or 11/16 AF ? Measure it across the flats to confirm. Out of interest why didn’t you want to use an adjustable on this instance ? Providing you use it the correct way round, it would be ok for that particular job . On some applications I agree a fixed spanner is preferable, especially tightening stuff.

Re: fuel pump
Sorry I didn't understand it was a spanner size you were after.
16mm is a good fit. That is what I used when replacing Elsie May's fuel pipe.
Best wishes,
Mike.

Re: fuel pump
Whichever one you've got that fits, whether A/F, Metric, Whitworth or whatever.
The age of these cars and the years of different bits being fitted, anything is possible.
I was changing brake cylinders at the weekend and the bolt heads were a very good fit to 10mm and 13mm sockets. Except one bolt that needed an 11mm, despite being the same thread as the 10mm head bolts.
Expect the unexpected....
