Re: Kiwi scratchbuilt

I have started playing around with fitment for the dry sump pump, waterpump and alternator which will all be mounted on the front motor plate. And the belt layout, pulleys etc.

First up it's obvious the brand new waterpump is miles too long. Time to turn it into a Kiwi shorty. So, strip it out and see what scope there is for shortening. This is what we started off with, 6.137" long.
