i'm doing the 144 sj pump conversion in my fx1. pump and driveshaft have been sent off to bonzai bob for him to do his fx1 voo doo magic on my pump.(hopefully he has received it)
i pried the pump shoe out and started grinding away. i went from 122 mm up to 130mm at which point i started coming through in several spots.
since the shoe is hollow i thought i would fill the voids with epoxy and filler and keep grinding away. the problem is trying to get anywhere close to 144mm would mean i would have nothing left of the shoe......so i ordered a 144 aluminum shoe from blowsion, $ 97 shipped to me.
the pic of the shoe at 130 with the sj pump seal shows just how big a difference there is. some grinding and alittle work and i'll have the correct shoe in!
