surley as a garage owner the last thing you want to do is a band aid fix ? people will instantly tell everyone it shat itself since xyz garage serviced it
if he wants to try a bottle of wynns then let him do it , don't get involved

fill it with the proper spec oil and if it rattles and bangs it done for
if the bearings have taken damage from running it with no oil then theres no miricle cure , might as well be up front with him and remind him running a car with no oil is bad news

bracket looks similar to my polo....maybe post a pic of the tank
i think i would find something thats readily available for cheap and make a new bracket , wont look any worse than beads of expensive glues /sealer /melted bits , the pumps are almost universal so will fit

nah not on mine ...new tank , and i took the hot air pipe off it stopped, i think tiny bits were getting past the filter , or just randomly blocked jet anyway and nothing to do with the rust , plus stupid design the crank breather comes in on the carb side of the filter
cleaned it all up now

tell you what mine was doing , might be worth a look
the manifold and heat sheild were well rusted , on a long trip it was getting crumbs of rust up the hot air pipe and into the air cleaner then blocking a jet

good call on the icing , they will ice up on damp days if all the hot air gear isnt fitted

could take the jets out one by one and carb cleaner /air line them , check the filter isnt full of curse word

all the stuff that works on bigger engines will work on yours , its just all the time and money might yeild 10% increase which will be next to nothing
bigger engine from a sporty model or strip out excess weight

make of it what you will
i had this convo years back with our rep from a big expensive paint company on why his paint was so dear vs the no name 2k from the local place
what he said was that if we had a colour matching issue or the paint peeled off , then theres help on the phone , we can send in samples to be matched and they will send him out to sort any problems and pay to put right any issues caused by thier gear , the cheap no name stuff doesnt include this
our take was if you don't need the back up its 99% the same stuff ....for a diy'er no one is going to come out and help you if it all goes wrong , we often ordered in the cheaper stuff and had zero issues with it

those dial adaptors ....why not fill the dash and have them fit without an adaptor like the others ? while its a clever fix i think no adaptors would look right /better
