I'm fairly sure John Barlow had some at the back end of last year.

Paul. Bonewell made the gear type that is a straight swap for the original

Depends what you want it for. On a splash fed engine an overbored pump will be more than adequate. For a pressure fed engine I’d use one of Paul Bonewell’s.

Hi Folks,
Thanks for the response,
I will have to track Paul Bonewell down.
The Nippy Crankcase is going to have a Hadley Crank and Rods installed.
My current Mongrel engine has a Pigsty Oil Pump Conversion and an Allen Crank, this engine is staying in the car till the Nippy Engine is built.
Entered for VSCC Wiscombe in May
I want the Nippy Crankcase / Engine to be more original in appearance.
I intend to use the original oil feeds, uprate the pressure relief valve and restrict oil flow to the Camshaft bearings.
I do not want the oil to come out of the pressure gauge port and into a filter/ remote pressure relief on the head then a load of armoured pipes running about.
I already have available a Double pump conversion from the 50's / 60's but would like to use a more modern solution.

For what it's worth I've run a pressure fed 3-bearing crank on the road since the 1980's with an over-bored A7 pump. Runs at 35 - 50 psi without issues. Can't comment on the Hadley though.

I'd be interested to hear about that. Damian?
