I tried fitting a 16v one in my sport when I had issues and it didn't work well. my problem was the swirl pot in the middle of the caddy tank was not connected to the outlet so would cut out below 1/2 tank of fuel. after this was fixed the 8v mk1 pump worked great
I had to cut it down for it to fit too

Lastly where did you attatch your bracket to on your caddy ?
Thanks again for all your help

cutting out round corners was the same problem I had and it was a pipe in the tank that had perished so might be worth dropping the tank to check.
this is the pipe that is supposed to be connected.
this is the swirl pot in the caddy tank, you can see the bits of the rubber pipe in it that had perished, fairly sure the tank is the same on the sport, 1.6 carb and diesels

if I still had the caddy I would try and make a tool to replace the brass pipe with a piece of fuel hose. a pipe with a loop of wire through so it makes a noose might work as a tool.
I found paint thinners and a washing up brush with an extended handle the best thing to get rid of varnish in a tank or electrolysis works well if its rusty
