I thought it was just held in place via the three connections with jubilee clips...2 X inlet & 1 X Outlet...Ziga
That sounds so un-TVR engineering it might actually be true 
Simple
The two tank pipes join together in a plastic T-piece then one pipe goes to the swirl pot! Which on later cars was bolted to the body/chassis.
On most diagrams of the fuel system it looks like it's floating between both fuel tanks, but it was in fact fixed to the body/chassis on later cars.

Think yourself lucky...I havent even got one...
Ford Granadas DID have a sort of swirl pot, but it wasn't much bigger than the 'T' piece joining the two fuel pipes together...as far as I know it's only to stop fuel starvation to the pump anyway, which won't happen for a pump mounted well below the fuel tanks ??Mr Tank said:
