Does anyone know of a source for a Fuchs Dry Sump oil pump? It is similiar in configuration to a Clauds Buggies dry sumpt pump. and was available in the early 1970s.

Welcome to the BBS !! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/clap56.gif) You win the award for most oddball first question posted.
Is this a multi stage pump your looking for ?? I had no idea a company called "Fuch" made such a thing for type 4's. I have a mutli stage type 4 dry sump pump.. I'll look tomorrow (Monday) and see if it has a manufacturing name on it. B |

It might have been designed for a T1/T3 motor, as the case ports required a lot of "matching.

(please excuse the multiple responses as the modem keeps dropping out.)
The configuration is the same as the Clauds Buggies pump: Pressure side outside the case and the scavange side in the case. While this required "transfer" passages in the pump, the normal case plumbing remained stock. (I believe that most of the other Dry Sumpt pumps,[Bertils, Heppenstall, Autocraft, Hiddigger, ] hadthe pressure side in the case and required external plumbing and plugs.) The Fuchs pump had a slightly higher Scavange to pressure ratio than the Clauds Buggies. |

Cool info.
My pump had no names on it so I'm of no help to you. We spin our racing 1.8 engines to 8k RPM and actually moved away from the dry sump setup. Since the crank doesnt spin in oil.. we found dry sump to be uneeded in our applications. Show us pics of what your working on. B |

Thanks Brad.
The CB pump has 2 Bosses on the external section of the pump for the in/out fittings. The Fuchs pump has a square external section for the fittings. The sections are located with a small pin and have 5 & 55 stamped on the sides for alignment. |
