John,
Would you consider assembling mine if I sent you my Solas pump, driveshaft, and bearings? I have all three things,but have never put one together. I do not have the knowledge or tools to check for the clearances. After reading for days about the same problems with the fit, I don't want...
Do not reuse the white clip. Put it together with his c clip the way the pdf shows that I sent you. If you use the white clip and to not put the rubber plug like the drawing shows the throw/steering at the pump will be so out of alignment that you will not be able to adjust it out.

I bought a brass plug from Menards. I re-drilled and tapped the hole to fit the plug.
I drilled out the center of the plug from the bottom then I screwed it in the hole. Took the correct sized drill bit and drilled a starter hole in the side of the plug through the outlet...

So I ground the nubbin so the steering cable would not rub with my custom trim set up. So today it blew out. 10 minutes of riding for the year.
1). Cut the rectangle nub short and thread it for a brass 90 degree fitting?
2). Tap the other side for a 90 degree fitting in the cylinder...
Would it work if you drilled the hole in the pump are and drilled the hole from the engine bay, then "fished" from the back hole to the front hole with your long drill bit?
Hey Trotty,
Did you get your setup to work? What steering plate did you use? I have an ATP steering plate and am considering getting the steering cable and bracket if they are still available from schmitty.
I was also wondering about engine compartment venting for fumes.
I am under the assumption that in the stock set up, the air enters the front holes in the hood goes down the first tube and up the back tube to an exit vent. This would provide fresh air at the entire bottom of the compartment if...
