I got the pump of ebay mate and it didn't come with instructions, il try it first if it gives bother then I reposition it but will be left with two holes in the floor FFS.. Thanks for the input...

havent done a whole pile over christmas, but got my hands on a new carb set up, billet trumpets, boggs bros manifold and a set of carbs cleaned and jetted by bogg bros, the quality of bogg bros work is exceptional,

also got a carb vs bodies shot bodies are a mates

got my cutoff switch mounted in the ashtray

sorted my start and charge loom, the main feed to the cut of switch

this is a picture of the terminal block before the starter wire was connected, red wire is coming from the cut of switch, the other two are lives, think one is eps and the other is general interior electrics, disreguard the state of the bulk head this will be buttered up at a later date lol

picture of the start and charge loom being loom wrapped

main starter and alternator feed crimped and shrinked this runs to the terminal box

all connected up and tried it and the engine is now turning over, just need to wire the ignition system, the fuel pump, get a dizzy blanking plate, a header tank cap and a few jubilee clips and shell be ready to fire, best picture of the engine bay yet just need to get a catch tank and its should be finished

also got my morettes and rear brake lines finished but have no images will get some for the next update, thanks for looking

because the one i bought i think was for the earlier style r1 carbs and one of the primaries was of by 5-10mm just was happy with it, then these carbs come up, it worked out near the same to buy a bogg bros manifold new or buy this full set up and sell mine..
