Keep the brass sheet handy Dennis, you'll need another base for the special model Pericaud pump.

I hadn't realised you were building them in a smaller scale and they look very nice at this size. 
Have you thought of adding an oil cup or oiling hole to the bearing?

Did you miss the clue in my first post “ 66% “ and the second photo in first post

Had no thought about an oiler yet
