Having sourced an SU fuel pump and cleaning the points, I fitted it today... (haven't used one of these for about 30yrs!)
...only to find the plastic inlet cap with a fine crack :eek:
This was successfully repaired with 'Q Bond' (superglue with powder additive) - so now the mechanical pump is bypassed, this only leaves the job of swapping heads at next available chance...
I've moved the coil and re-mounted it vertically and the pump alongside using the existing coil mounting bolt holes. Power from coil (+Batt terminal) and earth at unused hedgehog on bulkhead - so wiring was easy. Wasn't sure if there'd be enough current at coil - but it seems fine and it's IGN switched (may find a better supply when it's a bit warmer out there!)

I've been told (by mechanic!) that I should be able to use the existing head bolts (been in a month), but I was under the impression that the stretch bolts are one use only?
