Using the stick to bolt the pump to is a clever trick! I hope I'll remember that if I ever need to do something similar.

Love those rods. Nice work indeed.
Well done.
Once I get a second daily drive (for my wife mainly!) I would love to rebuild by boxer with fast road cams, new rods, lighter flywheel etc.
One day in a few years I guess. Times are hard.

Well, I've done nothing to the car for a long while now as work has been busy and money has been scarce. But I decided to pull the car out, give it a sponge over as it had got a little green and do a few jobs on it using parts I had already got as it wouldn't cost me anything.
First up was to remove the old fuel tank...
In readiness for fitting this one...
But in order for it to fit in where I want it meant I had to get busy with one of these...
Now, the idea of cutting a large piece out of a perfectly good floor fills me with dread, so, I measured, measured and then measured again, up top and from underneath as I really didn't want any problems...
But, there was one slight hitch. Despite the hole being the right size, shape and location, I couldn't drop the box in with the cage x-brace where it was...
Oh we'll, in for a penny in for a pound, the x-brace will just have to go...
With that out of the way, the box went in a treat. Just a matter of cleaning off the paint and getting a weld round it...
And underneath...
Next week I'll get some rust treatment on it to protect the bare metal before corrosion takes hold. I'm making a rotisserie to make stitch welding and painting the underside easier but that's going to have to wait a while.
