how have people done this and retained the oil pump drive? is it as simple as cutting the dizzy up and making a plate to hold it down, or is there a better way?

Just cut yours down, once you've done this you can remove the shaft, cut that shorter and push it back in (sit's in the lower bearing). Then just cut a bit of ali and seal it over the top of the whole. Easy as tbh.
That's what I did - works a treat.
