Pump proper


Cleaned up the steel bits and started the pump body, shown here in position but not fully inserted as it needs to be a driving fit. An ersatz pump piston in the form of a stub of 8mm silver steel was used to test the bore and it gives a fair bit of suction in either direction. Nice!

The rod sticking out the back end (sounds painful) is where the hex-headed blanking cap will fit.
