I am definitely going to try to do one. The immediate question is which pump to try it on.
I was thinking of using a new pump and I saw the Speedmaster is $48. That sounds like a good guinea pig to try it on since if I screw it up, it isn't a big loss?
It's tough to get any tech information of Speedmaster though before hand.
Is there anyone here with direct knowledge of it that can comment on this pump?
I agree that cutting down the nose is not a major issue. The way that the shaft is made though is going to need to be cut down in a lathe.
The exact amount to cut is also going to be experimental.
