got some motivation today and got some progress on the build
got the pump/mid shaft and intake grate on
pump went in with out a hitch... as soon as i remembered to take out the pins in wear ring section that hold it in place on a stock hull :S
Also this was a beta hull so pump bolts were a bit differently not stock size but fortunately the stock SJ ride plate bolts worked so i didn't come to a stand still.
other than that just took 1 mm shims on each side on the reduction nozzle to get the shaft to center
actually same as my 2001 SJ was.
installed the ATP adjustable grate haven't used one yet hoping it helps with the hook up on the Solas mag
mid shaft went on no issue/no shims . took set pins out backside ahead of time on this one.
some of the beta hulls had the full length ride plate this one did not. just marking out the ride plate to cut it to my liking.
