SW Birmingham - fuel pump stockists?

[nomad]

I'm passing through the Birmingham this week - can anybody suggest a place that stocks fuel pumps as I'd like to fit a universal petrol pump before the next leg of my trip to Devon.
Mail order is not an option so ideally somewhere nearby that will have stock on the shelves.

All suggestions welcome

Fuel parts are in Bromsgrove IIRC about 30 seconds off the A38 unless they’ve moved

Scrap that - they’re reinvented and now in Nottingham..

Will have a look - many thanks

I would be tempted to look for a independent small car parts retailer like used to be everywhere. Often open til late etc.
I would think that somewhere like that jag place might be on Christmas shutdown.

Brierley Hill - Aldon is easy to miss if you don't know where it is, but as swampy says, its not far from the motorway. Nearest big town is Stourbridge.

Just thinking out loud - is it a Facet-type pump you're after? One of the little independent places by my parents used to stock them, but not sure if they still do.  www.roadrunnercarparts.co.uk

The joint winners of this weeks quiz are swampy76  and neilsdavies , RR brownie points are on their way (via t'internet) as you read this

Local independent places always appeal but I didn't see the "Roadrunner" suggestion from neilsdavies until too late, maybe next time...
I had a trip to Aldon as I bought an electronic ignition from them at least 30 years ago, and I was curious to have a look around.
Good quality stuff at fair prices, and they even found a bit of "xmas discount" without me having to ask. Bonus   

The current fuel pump is simple mechanical type but I suspect it's starting to fail as fuel is draining back from the carb at night, there's also an irritating "flat" feel to the engine and I'd like to rule out the pump.
A basic electric type sounds like a nice simple upgrade and Aldon found a 3psi Facet for me, a new coil wasn't on the shopping list but while I was there...



Now hoping I can get the bits fitted before my trip to Devon next week 

Thanks to everyone for the the suggestions, they were all appreciated

havent visited for years is the access road still full of potholes ?

[neilsdavies]

I didn't know you were up today! I drove past the end of the road at least three times today too!

I haven't been in for years either - couple of mates used to swear by them though.

[ChasR]

A good result I see. I'm surprised they do a Facet in a 3PSI form mind you! I was almost going to suggest getting a fuel pressure regulator from the likes of Malpazzi installed.

Ah, that does bring back memories. It must have been over a decade since I was last at Aldon!
