Final positioning of the 3 stage pump. I custom fitted the pump. I wanted it tucked up and in more than the Achilles mount had, so Mino (he's been great to work with, btw) sent me a blank and I marked the mount holes and had my local guy drill and tap the mount. Came out nice!

And there here's some shots of the hoses. AN 10 for pump to motor, AN 12 for scavenge, oil tank to pump, and tank to breather, and massive AN 16 for the pump to tank return. Those big hoses are a bit of a pain to assemble. I've ordered a pressure test kit to make sure they're all solid. I have to admit, I'm a bit nervous about hose fitting failure on the initial shakedown. Pressure testing will give me peace of mind.

Update: Pressure tested all the hose assemblies to 200 psi.

In this shot you can see the heat shield I fabricated:
