Thanks Kingsley

Can you just confirm you have got the new style pump to fit even though 
it touches the rad?

I have kindly been offered a new old style pump so the immediate problem 
has gone away.

Certainly changing to all electric would be a cheaper option than 
converting to an XS front end. Either way one should be able to find a 
compatible mechanical pump. What i really like about the conventional 
Rotax set up is that you can loose all the electrics and the engine 
continues to run.

Regards

Pete
