Guys,
You are correct....IF you remember to try and get fingers behind the bracket....but it's tight in there with a stock pump...perhaps a little bit of room with a rotary. "Tricky!"
I was thinking more of the next mechanic down the road, not knowing what was going on.....
Here is my "other" suggested fix that I didn't put in my note! Like I said....I was thinkin'!
Take said block, drill for a through bolt, weld bolt to block. Now you have a "stud", secured by the block, which can be dealt with from the front for repair or removal.
There are many ways to skin a cat.......
I read something somewhere that said that most engineering projects take at least three cycles thru the development process to get things proper. So what would Rev C look like?
Ciao!
Steve
