From the diagrams on their web page it looks like they're 1/8-27 NPT.

If you're going to go through the trouble of installing the Facet there's no need to keep the mechanical pump. It's just extra complication at that point, and I would suggest just bypassing it and running off the Facet.

Something to consider, yes.

It seems to me that there is a lot more room towards the passenger side of the (trunk) panel to mount the pump. It is further away from the exhaust, however, there would be a longer run of hose both input and output; and of course, the hoses would have to be secured to keep them away from the exhaust... thoughts?

Hoses not hooked up. I built a custom bracket so the filter could be removed. It is in front fo the spare tire well.

very nicely done.... can you share the dimensions and mounting points? and if you have an extra

I thought I had a bracket lying around, but I seem to have sold it along with the fuel pump. I have since moved onto a different setup because I am running a Busso V6 in that car. But what I did was start with a Spica pump platform mounted in the stock position. I welded nuts to the chassis to imitate the factory setup for mounting that bracket. Rivnuts or thru-drilling will work. And then I took some 6063 angle and plate aluminum and created a housing that would bolt to the Spika bracket, and then bolted the fuel pump to that. Then I added another piece of plate to protect the pump from any road debris. I used 3M 8115 to glue all the aluminum together and epoxy primed and then textured with urethane bed liner.
