The other think I have seen done, is an injector feed into the pump body, using the clacks already part of the pump casting. Obviously depends where your cracks/issues are in the casting assuming you have one.

Thanks Hedd, I have refurbed the pump quite extensively, but knowing what a poor reputation they have, and considering the jiggling about I am going to have to do now to correct alignment, I had got to thinking that a second injector may be the way forward. I have not drilled the holes for the pump yet so I could go down this route reasonably easily. I suspect that my pump would make money-wise what a clack would cost me from HSS.
