The first batches of Spitfires left the factory with manually powered gear pumps, which were adapted from units sourced from Supermarine Walruses --with the expedient of bending the long pump handle nearly 90° to fit in the cramped Spitfire cockpit.

Our version comprises three printed pieces, with axles (and optionally pushrods) to be created with brass tubing or wire. Carefully assembled, the pump lever can swing freely and the selector lever can move and lock into each of the two detents.
