Oh my.

And yes, that was my reaction to seeing this.

This aircraft is going to be something very, very special.

Magic

Although limited appeal in this forum, here is a bit of CAMS Kiwi magic - a Gnome mechanical fuel pump.
Those familiar with the Camel’s pressure fuel system and its foibles will understand the utility of this little miracle.

I don't know that I would call that "limited appeal" on here... Anything that helps a real rotary powered aircraft keep flying and be safer is a perfect fit for this forum! Very nice!

Does the mounting plate have enough holes for fuel pump, magneto, oil pump? Or do you require a new one?

Yes - there are mounting holes at 3, 6 and 9 o’clock positions; this is stock configuration
