I know, I know..?

I've been toying with the idea already.

The 1000 that came out is on the floor and is looking very tempting. Might have a go with that one and have best of both. *happy*

Fuel lines are 8mm and running Mega jolt so we have built in flexibility *wink*

Cheers guys for the comments.

Matty- Thanks for the pic advice I will try it out when I’ve made a bit more progress.

Benross - I'm actually in Silsden near Keighley. And yes there’s plenty of paint on it.
You should see the marks I left on the garden from wax oiling the thing. Just trying to make the thing last a while.

And Yeah I’ll try and drop into the HQ some day soon. And you can show me the ways of the Force. *happy*

Slinky inc - There's only going to be 2 chairs and a motor in it. Weight is the Enemy..!

Just had this made to replace my water pump.

I just asked my local engineer guy if he could knock something up to replace the existing water pump assembly and he said "leave it with me."

Expecting a plate with a tiged on outlet. I was well chuffed when he presented me with this.





It retains all the original fittings no need for new bolts and pipe outlet remains the same dia to. So its a straight swop.




Happy as...!

That pump replacement looks awesome! I take it you are going to use an electric one to replace it.

In the 13's at last!.. Just

How much did that water pump replacement cost? Don't spose you could get another one made?

Thanks for the comments guys, just in the process of wiring and plumbing it up. But waiting for lots of parts to arrive. *angry*

Also having made up a billet heater take off to replace those crapy heater valves to. Then next job is to get the pump replacement and the heater take anodised.

theoneeyedlizard :- Yep, electric pump just working out the best way to control it.

mikemph :- It was a one off mate sorry. The guy who made does not have the machinery to bang loads out. Must have taken quite a bit of time to turn it out of a billet mind.

Only other way is to take machine shop who could CNC it. But they would probably want a large order to make it viable.

only problem with that one from SH is that it has larger water inlet than the original hose. I seem to remember its 1.5". He could make smaller ones at order for a little more money.
