of oil pumps, oil dipsticks,
I have put a new oil pump, two surprises and an anecdote
The first surprise is that there are no pumps on the market, normally you have to renew the one you have or look for another used one, good luck with it! it is not easy to find
the second is that the new replacement pump (which I bought 6 years ago) is different and does not fit, let me explain...
This is the new replacement model, it changes the fastening of the front sprocket going from a plate with three screws to a single central nut, (by the way it is rare metric and rare thread step)
In addition, observant people can see a prominent cup in the suction end, and this is the other surprise, it does not fit in the carter, so you have to cut the cup, it does not look elegant, but it is worse to leave the carter open ;-)
here with the bowl cut:
And now the curiosity, I have wondered how the oil dipstick looks down there, well this is the answer...
matching the level (in the photo the engine is not level as it would later be in the car)
this would be approximately the situation of oil level in the middle
and one last thing that I have learned, and that is that the pump must be assembled with oil so that it is primed, otherwise it will not suck...
BTW, i do have 8 nuts for sale, i was forced to buy 10, i installed one and i will keep one as a spare, so if you plan to install this type of oil pump and you need a nut, do not hestate to ask for it. buyer will pay postage.

for comparison purposes:
the old version...
some details....
- in green the old system with three screws
- in blue the old type suction cup
- in red the two distancers that must be placed to get the correct tension

so at home now to final details and bits
plan to install anciliaries and renew eccentrics and make a nice valve adjustment calmly

Curious production number high increase in only 2years
older,
newer, 72, less than 2 years, number is increased in 100.000

careful, this will fall down when upside down
the seal sits flush with the wall, see the needle bearing below
to extract this one use a proper stick and hit from the other side
to extract the needle bearing and the seal use a 18mm hex vase, and a proper tool to not hit it with a hammer
this setup works very smoothly
if you place a piece of paper pressed upon the cage, the needles will not fall down

hi, @Stevehose
i do have a concern as i found a discrepancy: the position of the saft seal in the steering pump, as i have seen in your pics (see below)
it seems that you put the lip with the spring on top:
but as per my pics on disassembly it is clear that my seal appeared to be mounted just the opposite:
once extrated you can see the seal to identify the sides:
now see the seal and see the spring on the other side
IMHO, you should not tap the rubber side when introducing a seal, as you did (@Stevehose ), that is why the seal has a steel cage to be pushed from that side
comments ?

another point @Stevehose
you did a profoundness gauge check
in my case i found the needle bearing to be simply bottomed in place, and found a gap between bearing and seal, see here:
can not tell the relevance

I probably put the seal in backwards unless it happened to be that way upon removal for me, fortunately no leaks and working fine all these years. I did the measurement per the manual instructions and I definitely had room for adjustment before bottoming out. Great pics.
You are right Steve
some paint and chroming of the steel bits
some time in the kitchen as Steve did
remove old bearing

Gear box speedo pinion and seal
you probably will remember this pic from @Stevehose
He was the first to tackle this job
so I have done it myself
you can see the old black rubber seal still in its place
the small steel sort of thick washer is out a bit PITA by the way

Removed the seal using a special tool
Seal was destroyed,
Use washers and pressure to instert the new seal,
