If you truly don't have a safe place to put your Accusump, and i concur about three liters of near boiling oil in your crotch, and the risk of a ding to the cylinder negating its ability to function, consider an electric Weldon pump to pre-lube, or to pump oil here or there.

Trying to pump cold viscous oil four or five feet to your engine to prelube it is not very useful.

I woul personally forgoe an Accusump, rather than put it in the cockpit. Perhaps the money put in a road racing pan, i have a road race Aviad, might be a better solution. I have hundreds of laps in my Windsor with this pan, and often run a video on the rollbar, and can watch my oil pressure, and i never have any oiling issues in corners. It has four trap doors to hold the oil by the pickup.

I guess i need to ask again what your reason is for the Accusummp, mostly i did mine just to have another modification to keep my busy tinkering.
