Hi all,
I am searching for informations or pictures about the fuel system of F1 Tyrrells that raced between 1971 and 1972, for a modeling project, could anyone please help in any way?
More precisely I would like to see how the 4 fuel pumps (2 Bendix, 1 Lucas and the mechenical one in the dlower left of the DFV) were piped.
Everything was fitted between the driver's seat and oil tank but any picture I have of the period's cars show that section.
Many thanks in advance!
Gabriele

Does anyoe know if Bendix supplied more than one type of pump through the sixties and into the seventies?

Many teams used Bendix pumps for both oil and fuel systems during the 60s and 70s but I always saw just one type of pump, an oscillating-type like this one:
