Okay, but you still lose the advantage of the polarized VW plug. Now 
it's up to you to get the polarity right.

I still think sticking to the OE style pump is preferable, but I'll 
admit that this has a lot to do with just keeping things original.

BTW, why do you move the pump to the center of the beam? Does this 
help the hose routing in some way?
