Bit the bullet and ordered the bits I needed from Skandix (ouch!):
- in-tank fuel pump (135mm length)
- submersible fuel hose
- new sender/pump unit seal
Will also replace the external hose clamps with stainless steel items.
At least I can console myself by not having to pay labour costs and also being able to carry out some more rustproofing whilst I've got the fuel pump/sender cover plate off. Also, having replaced the pump, hose and seal, at least I will have eliminated these components should I get fuel supply problems again.
Will post an update on here when I've done the job to confirm that it's fixed the problem :-)
