Bought this used pump off a forum. The D5 Vario may be a great performing pump but it sure is ugly. :yepp:
As its gonna be visible in my case I'd like to remove the housing and the giant conversion nuts and add a kit more aesthetically pleasing to the eye. I don't want to rush in and damage anything (like I usually do). So I'd like your guidance:
Anyone tell me how these nuts are secured to the pump? Can I just go at it with a spanner and hope that they'll untighten?
I'm sure many of you can do this with your eyes closed so once its undone what am I likely to find? By that I mean can it be modded to take eg. a BP kit.
Also this may not be visible from the photo but there is a white substance between the nut and the pump barb, am I right in assuming this is just some sort of sealant, or is it something more permanent?
