Stephan,
All the 75's use the same pumps but some have different mountings. When I
couldn't figure out how mine went together I looked at another 75 and it had
different brackets. It's kind of a jigsaw puzzle as there are about 4 or 5
brackets. It took me quite a bit of trial and error to get it right. It's
hard to see but it looks like there are two brackets on the front and two on
the back. Each front/back bracket is bolted to the other front/back
bracket. One of the front and one of the back is bolted to the block. The
other front and back are bolted to the pump. A fifth bracket is on the back
and is slotted for the adjustment.
