Make a bracket that relocates the pump higher.

doing the same conversion myself, and you will have to make new brackets to get it to fit properly.

Thanks for that guy's, I had another look at it and I can mount the pump on the same bracket a bit higher enough to miss the box. All i have to do is weld a tab on to the origanal bracket to give the pump more support and it should be ok.
