BOSCH VE GUIDE - Transit govenor cradle

[Dan!]

Il be updating this with plenty of extra info/numbers probably tomorrow, but for now here are todays photos and a quick write up of whats going on.

Firstly, got hold of a govenor cradle and assembly from a transit Bosch VE (the same one needed for an 11mm head conversion) and removed the assmebly from the cradle and took it all apart. This is the setup straight out of the pump:

Then got the 306 setup, which looks like this:

And removed the assembly from that too, so I could show/compare the difference between the two easier (Transit cradle has 2 shaft seals and a longer throw on the pivot arm):

Then I used the main long spring from the Transit assembly in place of the normal 306 spring. Because its longer it doesnt need shimming/will be stiffer just on its own.

Got Hannah to compress it all and fit the circlip because I still dont have much strength in my hands, and this is the final product:
