Oops.  Marc is right, the 13B pump housings will bolt right up to the 20B.
There is an 'extra' threaded hole on the intake/exhaust port side of the
engine for the WP housing (The bottom hole is the correct one) and I
happened to choose the wrong one on the trial fit yesterday.  This causes
several other holes to not line up right.

Another piece of rotary trivia.  The front 13Brew end housing is the same
part as the 20B except that the tension bolt holes have not been drilled all
the way through as required on the 20B.  There are only two 'real' 20B parts
on my 3 rotor.  The rest are 13Brew.
