Went to the hardware store and then got the bright idea to counter sink the mounting bolts. That allowed me to mount the pump up a bit higher and to have more surface area on the pump to be on the bracket. I'm going to need to pick up a fender washer because the rubber isolator is pulling in a bit. There's a collar on the inside that I thought would prevent it... but I guess not.

The mount is nice and low so I can keep the CG down low. The pump will pull from an oil collector (yet to be made) directly in front of the pump. The pump will then put oil back into the pan's -16 line. Hind site, I wish that was -8 but the best I can do is reduce to -10.
