Angier--

Yes, I've done the weight and balance, but I still have the scale so I can re-do it if I need to.

I saw your installation at Greenville, and it was nice looking and very accessible. My pump, pressure switches, and relays are currently mounted on the aft face of the baggage bulkhead. I believe I'll move the pump and pressure switches to the front side for access. That won't change the W&B too much.

Going through my records, my Oildyne pump is model 108-AA-19-AL-3VT, a true antique (but low mileage). It has the metal sump, not the plastic one. The pressure switches are the ones with the gold anodized covers and the wires coming out the top inside a clear vinyl sheath.

I won't be relocating (or replacing) the hydraulic pump until I'm finished with the gear up/down stops.

So who carries these pumps if I have to buy a new one with the back-pressure circuit? Who carries the rebuild kits?

Hi John,
Have you done a weight & balance calculation yet?
If you are planning to move your pump,…and I would highly recommend it, create an access panel in your seatback
and mount the pump on a partial bulkhead directly behind your seat.
I have a few pics if you like.
