The fuel pump cables run down the inside of the driver's side chassis section. The original location for the wiring to emerge is in the rear wheel arch just infront of the crossmember. At this point the wiring loom splits into the sections which do the rear lighting and towing electrics which run backwards, and the section which runs forwards to the fuel pump and the fuel filter water sensor (if fitted).

Fuel pump issues can also be related to the relay (cheap and simple to replace, under RHD driver seat) or the pump itself. Obviously if you suspect a previous chassis repair damaged the cables it is a good place to start, just don't count out the other options.
In my experience garages are not good at cable repairs. You can twist two cables together and it is will work, maybe wrap some tape around it for show which is unfortunately what a fair few garages do. To do a proper repair you need to completely seal the joint from water meaning your wire insulation needs to be intact first then your joint needs to involve glue filled shrink tube either as part of the crimp joint or as a separate shrink tube. The glue bit is very important, it needs to ooze out before solidifying which will provide a mechanical bond that is waterproof. It is is satisfying though to make a good and lasting repair and an easy way to vastly improve a neglected and abuse car. |

Having just rewired my chopper I have all the gear out so once I find the problem we can fix it properly. I will take a look at the relays as well. It is odd that it is intermittent so that could well be the issue

Travels down the oval black plug at the footwell (engine side) down the chassis. Check if the plug retainers are holding it onto the bulkhead, often forgot about when removing the gearbox or clutch and is a great rubbing point.
