Same with the MGB, only the electric fuel pump was in the far right behind the seats and under the deck above the batteries (yes, two six-volt to provide a 12-volt system), so the driver (left side) could reach back and whack the deck with the knock-off hammer to break the contacts free.
Absolutely TT
In the mid 70's I had a very early MGB ragtop with a 3 bearing crank engine,returning from a winter party in norfolk,the dear old SU pump packs up but I knew that it would give a 'tick' when the ignition switched on - so on the 10 mile journey home we had a fun time with me driving one handed and switching ign off and on - of course the B had a lovely torquey engine and did not need to change gear very often
