Help With Replacing Parts Washer Pump

[Hatman52]

The pump died on my Harbor Freight parts washer, so, based on reading some threads on this board, I bought a Little Giant pump to replace it with. Now I'm trying to figure out how to rig things up. Any help would be appreciated.

Here's a pic of the old pump. It was held down with two screws at the bottom and connected to the fluid arm with a small piece of hose.

Here's the new pump. The pump outlet isn't going to line up exactly with the fluid arm, but I should be able to work around that, and then run the electric out the top where the old cord exited. Not quite sure how to secure the pump, though. Any thoughts?

Thanks in advance for any help/advice.

How about a strong magnet?

make a bracket.

you'll need to cut a hole in it to fit around the inlet screen and 3 little holes for the screws on the pump. bend it to fit/hold off the bottom of the tank and drill a couple holes for the housing attachment.
