So, if there's a leak with the factory pump, you get air in the fuel line...
And if there's a leak with the electric pump, you get fuel squirting out in
the engine compartment?

Sorry I just had to!

On a serious note, my M38A1 came without a parking brake. Can someone take
pictures of how theirs is mounted and where the cable goes (and send to me)?
Anyone know a good supplier?

Nathan, this is very unoriginal but worth the upgrade. You can eliminate the

use of the factory pump and use an electric pump close to the tank. It
eliminates the hard starting if the check valve leaks back in the manual
pump, it facilitates easier startup after a filter change and any line leaks

become obvious because of the line being pressurized instead of under a
vacuum. There are many plusses of this mod especially for a daily driver.
