Depends where you bought the pump. Mine come with two eyelets, nuts and boots. From DMC you have to buy their little loom seperately.

hi
i used a specialTauto kit but found the banjo threaded bit too short, and so i think is the oem one.
and fitted all together, can ran for a minute then cut out.
found fuel literally spraying across the top of the tank, and under the car...a very HOT Delorean moment!.
so i hunted down a banjo and connector that cannot come loose
this place http://www.speedflowshop.co.uk were very good, made me up a high pressure line, banjo etc to guarantee it could not 'blow off' under pressure.
the weaker point then of course is the connection to the old Delorean fuel line (i could not get the return metal/plastic connection apart, however this is under lower pressure i think.)
The whole fuel tank/pump feed system i think is a bit poor, with quite a few owners with fuel smells leakage etc around the top of the pump
