[QUOTE="SkidRoe, post: 31340, member: 3290"] Here are the pictures from Day 2: Another test fitting: the pump plate is semi-complete. [IMG width="600px" height="450px" alt="100_0386.jpg picture by SkidRoe"]http://i851.photobucket.com/albums/ab73/SkidRoe/100_0386.jpg?t=1262524748[/IMG] Marking the holes to attach the new pump plate to the original one. I welded captive nuts to the new plate, as they would be just about impossible to get to.
