but not a hammer on an anvil (which is pretty hard)

know what you mean RDfella, but wonder about just how hard anvils are, I've seen quite a few in my time and they certainly "ring" when tapped but I've also noted a few that had bent! in places (like the end of the horn).
I loved to hear a smith using an anvil, always wondered though why the intermediate taps (sometimes two or more between striking the workpiece), possible a fatigue lessening method?

HI - wondering how the pump is held on, are those studs or nuts and are they supplied by SRM (looks nice)

Hi Bill, they are Allen head bolts and split washers supplied by SRM with the pump; along with a new gasket.

They are domed Allen cap screws. Click on the picture and all will be revealed.

Havin just checked all the bits I've stripped off my engine, I don't have one of these shamfered washers between the worm gear and crank pinion. Should all A10 engines have this washer?

 Jase.. Quick answer....Yes.   Depending on previous treatment, you may find the inner face of the hardened worm a bit ragged. This washer serves to position the worm above the oilpump drive spindle and provide a more even clamping force against the timing pinion, rather than just gouging into it.  Chamfer goes towards the timing pinion to clear the radiused change of shaft diameter, as already noted.

  Never considered if the original part was hardened, see earlier posts in this thread, but you can bet many motors are happily running around with a plain washer from the useful box. Any washer is better than no washer, so take your choice as to how you source one.
