1 Does the pully off the rover pump need to be fitted to the ford one as the rover belt is a tad wider but the rover pully is smaller than the ford one and i think may lower the pressure of the ford pump if fitted?
2 does the pully off the ford pump and the pully mount on the rover pump just pull off with a puller?
3 Does the high pressure out fitting on the truck fit the ford pump?
4 Do i change the in hose on the truck or the in hose fitting on the ford pump.
5 Does any one have a pic of the mounting of the new ford pump and or the new monting addaptor plate you have made up?
6 Does anyone have any other relevan info in regards to making this conversion?

any feed back at all will be helpfull, cheers

Has someone done this before?

To answer a couple of your Q's though

If the ford pulley is different to the LR one then it would be a good thing to change it, weather it just pulls off or not is something you will need to find out but normally they just press off maybe with a little (I stress little) heat.

A smaller pulley will increase flow not change pressure in this case, pulley size on a PS pump isnt that critical as long as it gets close to it's optimum working speed at idle then your fine.
