hi Jordan, the only reason I have opted to go electric is the lack of supply of original equipment diaphrams in ethanol resistent material. My experience of using NOS items is that the ethanol turns the material to black goo. Which fills up the carburettor with gunge and fails to produce fuel supply. The secondary effect is to allow fuel to feed into the sump, diluting the oil and running the mains!!! May I am wrong, but electric seems easier, and when you have a T16 stuck on the side of the road with fuel supply problems its an expensive recovery operation!

Are you looking for wartime fuel diaphrams? If so I can't think you will find them. I used an original fuel pump on my carrier but easily replaced the diaphram with a new made one from Macs Antique Auto parts. I would think any online vintage ford parts dealer would stock these
