If you've got a 'worn-out' spitfire oil pump, use a
piece of scrap steel or alum to fashion a top plate
for it. Drill, tap holes for oil pump bolts, and an
exit port for cleaner fluid. Find a small motor
(electric fan), and connect the shaft of the motor to
the shaft of the pump with PVC tubing and tiny hose
clamps. Scrap 2x4 for a frame to hold it together.
Attach dishwashing spray hose (with valve taped or
wired open, or removed, for permanant flow)
