The worry is if the diaphragm on the fuel pump fails , petrol would dilute the engine oil and being a dry sump system would be very hard to pick up with normal checks.
I suppose it is good news in a way.
The clutch is losing hydraulic oil which should be straight forward to fix and better than the other options of where I though the oil was coming from in the hull( the bevel boxes)......just more work.
If you have the switch no these guys may be able to help

I by passed the mech fuel pump as its was leaking into the oil tank wondered where the extra oil was combing from![]()

The stalwart is now running with its original ignition switch glued back together.
Interestingly the poor quality switches are made in Germany and not by mister Lucas.
I found the only thing that matches up is a keyless ignition switch for a WW2 Willy's Jeep.............used on the later war production ones only.
I have a Jeep switch on order.
It also has the electric fuel pump now fitted.
I need to do a long run to see if it can pump enough to keep the B81 Rolls happy at more than a litre a minute at full noise.
The standard mechanical fuel pump was removed.
I used its gasket as a template to make a steel blanking plate to go over the hole in the engine block.
I wanted the electric pump to be a straight swap over , so the electric had to mounted at angle to match up with the existing fuel pipes.
I used the blanking plate to mount the electric pump .
