Thanks James;

Had not thought about having all the same length lines, but that is a good point.  While 
it is relatively easy to bend the 3/4 lines back to fit the longer pump, 1/2 are already 
stretched out with the added head height and then to make up the extra length too, not 
sure about that.

I have a call and e-mail into Giles, I think they were closed at the end of the week with 
the holiday, so hopefully touch base with them this coming week and get an opinion from 
Giles as well.  Maybe pick up a set of lines and rebuilt injectors from him if that sounds 
like the way to go.
