Did I tell you I've got 2 pumps collecting dust in my shed ;D ;D a Shurflo 100psi and a Shurflo induction 135psi ( as fitted in Ashbys Ninja).

why not take this oppertunity to upgrade to a 200psi pump from ashbys ( cost £200ish)

Post by: Mike Halliday on November 10, 2003, 08:45:59 pm: Nick, how much room have you got inside? the 200psi pump has the same size motor as a shurflo but the pump head is a lot bigger approx 30mm x 50mm x 130mm

and the by-pass plumbing is different if you twiddle the solution lines you should get it in.
