I need just the bucket for 04-07 that has the fuel level on it. Hoping someone out there changed a bad pump assembly, and kept the bad one.

Which part do you need exactly? I used the 04-07 lower and a 07+ upper on mine

Wel when I did my single 255 I was having problems fitting the sock in the bucket, so just drilled a hole in the bottom so the sock could pickup under the bucket. I threw away the rubber one way valves to keep the bucket full or I could just seal the hole. Since I am doing the twin 400's, the sock is smaller, and I would really like to keep them in the bucket so they are submerged in fuel to keep them cooler if I end up running lower than 1/2 tank.

Long story short just the bottom part. Or if I could even get the little rubber baffles, that might work.

Maybe I am thinking completely wrong about this. Does the fuel bucket fill up with fuel from the return line? Do the pump(s) even need to be submerged in fuel? It seems that those little rubber check valves would only work if the fuel outside the bucket was higher than the fuel inside the bucket. I am going to consider just putting it together the way it is today. Any input, I'm might just be over thinking this.
