oil pump r&r / BWA wheels

[Peter Kemos <peterk@domain.elided>]

Could anyone comment on what is involved / degree of difficulty etc. in
replacing an oilpump on a 2L motor from a '73 GTV, WITHOUT removing the
upper oil pan?  Any special tools needed, double-jointed elbows, etc?

Also, I would like to source 2, 3 or 4 BWA 14" x 6" wheels for this car.
Currently have a set, only 1 is really straight, and 2 are hardly worth
fixing.  Ideally would like to get the same style, where the 'BWA' and
size stampings are in the outer rim, not in raised letters along the
side of the spoke.  Better still would be to find them in the Bay Area
or So. Cal.  Can't hurt to ask, right?  BTW, already checked APE so no
need to suggest that.  Cosmetically butt-ugly ok, but must be straight
(but not narrow ;)


Thanks,
