The only parts what won't fit is the rack and the pipes,all the rest should fit. But I would take the pipes as you may have to cut them to fit becuase you will need the end of the pipe what goes into the pump.

only seemed a good idea at the time as rack pipes and pump were all up for grabs complete. but as it wont fit im not prepared to bodge it so ile leave it alone.better safe than sorry.
