Shouldn't make any difference Chris. The wobbly bit just helps location onto the oil pump when fitting it.

Andy if the new hole is going to pass through the old one it will make the shaft very flimsy with holes going through on two planes, might be better to ask the machine shop if they can match the new cog to the old hole,that way only one hole in the shaft and more metal left around it. just my thoughts mate.

Seconded.

The way I read that is, that the gear has been pre drilled, but you Must not use that pre drilled hole. So are you supposed to re drill the gear at 90° ?

Yeah, don't drill that shaft at the same point, but could you do it further down? Ideally you need a new shaft....

Think you're right about it meaning re-drill the gear, not the shaft, but it seems to line up pretty well, so I think the hole in the gear just needs opening out to a larger size, (3/16").
I was at the NSRA SuperNationals in Bedfordshire today & bumped into Doug the engineer. Hiya, I've got a little job for you -I'll drop by on Monday.
No you won't, I'm on holiday till Tuesday.
O.K, I'll see you on Tuesday then.

Mr Loon's due to move workshops before the end of the month. I'm waiting to hear about a space in another barn at the moment, so am hanging on at the old 'shop as long as I can -I'd really like to get this thing going before it leaves, partly to use the workshop facilities but also cos it'd be nice to finish things there with it running again.

Checked the dashboard paint this evening. Doesn't look too bad, but I'll just put a 2nd coat of filler primer on to smooth it a little more -bugger, it's reacted & crazed the primer. Rub it back & do it again.

Nothing much to show -been slapping black paint on the chassis. It was like painting treacle, dripped everywhere, (mostly up my arm as I was laying underneath it), & looks horrible, but it's black. At least it'll look a little more presentable for the MOT. Added the self adhesive rubber strip around the radiator grille & bulkhead. I was at a show at the weekend & checked out other people's Pops. The webbing that was fitted as standard frays & discolours & just looks tatty. Don't know how long the foam rubber will last, but at least it's cheap & easy to replace.
