Hi All,
I have fitted SRM pumps to several project bikes I built including my own,
I have also modified a few to the A65 nrv spring and ball fitted behind the pump.
The last engine I built was a huntmaster and it got a hepolite pump, as no blue pumps available at the time *sad2*
It is running great and no wetsumping either..
I have heard reports that there can be problems with the hepolite pumps, indeed the first one supplied was drilled incorrectly so the fixing bolts broke through into the oilways, I wrote about that at the time on here..

G'day Worty.
Yes the pretty blue pump ain't cheap. I resisted for a long while but bit the bullet on the recent plunger rebuild. It 99% cured the wet sumping.
I'd love to put one on the Cafe but I'd have to drill holes in it for the end feed conversion. Maybe Johns reject Hepolite would do!
Cheers

Forget it Musky, I'm on the way round to John's now with fifty quid and a bottle of scotch. *smile*
