The galley runs right through here towards the back(flywheel end) of the case here. After pulling the galley plug,I tapped straight in to the point just past where it turns down to the relief at the botom of the case.Used a plug to separate output of pump from entrance to relief.Tightened and slightly swaged plug.Also Locktighted it.Spent some quality time beforehand sealing passages against ingress of aluminum chips. Worked -sort of.Spent more quality time cleaning the beejesus out it. "....the whole world , Chico. And everything in it." David V.
