New problem with the 1.9 TD conversion. No room for the PS pump belt to
clear the oil fill tube. I want to keep the tube intact, and  I thought I
had it whipped by mounting the pump low on the right side, and straddling
the belt over the tube, but somehow forgot that the engine support needs
space there too! I want to retain the serpentine belt drive for the
alternator and water pump, so this leave one option yet - mount the pump
snugly near the alternator and install a flat friction - pulley as the water
pump has, but against the backside of the belt. The problem is, that runs
the pump backwards. Will it work in reverse? I did pull it apart, and it is
possible to turn the oval pumping galley 90 degrees by machining new holes
for the locating pins. Will this work, does anyone have experience with
this? It works in theory for me, any input? Thanks!!
