The pump has a double hole mount cast into the body of the unit, similar to the mountings on an alternator.Fabricate a mounting bracket to fit one of the holes in the pump body. i made the bracket from a piece of inch by eighth of an inch steel bar - you could make the bracket fancier to use both holes, but
