Good on ya Mark.

At first glance assumed email was from Mark Drillock. That would be a
driving marathon!

If it's any help, with a 1994 96K  km  gas inline, getting the pump and
housing off wasn't an issue. Not sure if mine uses a 30 mm hub pump, but
there ya have it.

I wish them all the best. Sounds like quite the adventure!

Neil.
