Thanks

star drive sounds like a 1275+
as spade type = 1000 1100

Not necessarily! On older Mini lumps (e.g. the original 998 A-series the
1100/1300-type star pump isn't a straight swap and needs a spacer block and
new holes drilled/tapped into the block to take a star drive pump.
Been there, done that... ;-)
