Oil pump
Marcus - 28/4/06 at 02:15 PM

I have acquired an oil pump NOS from ebay for my crossflow, however, it doesn't have the spigot that the filter screws on to. Everything else is the same, is this a spare part, or have I got, as I suspect, an early pump which accepts the cartridge type filter?

if its got a hole in the top of the housing,where the bolt goes,its a pre historic one,any thread you can see where spigot should be?

Thread visible, same thread as filter itself.

then you need to get a new insert, or remove the insert from old pump (carefully) & fit to new pump (carefully)

Yup, I think new insert needed, I tried to get the one out of the old pump, but nearly shagged it with my mole grips!
Will look for another.

Cheers

if you do break it, let me know, i've got a cunning plan that needs the insides of 3 oil pumps
