Default Cosworth oilpump

Is it somebody her whit experience whit the new yb085 pump from Cosworth ? I have read the old thread whit the broken house on one, but is it risky to use them anyway ?
It is to much play at the drive shaft, but Jeremy Scott at Cosworth say that it`s ok, but i think he must be a sales men, not a engine builder

Have just fitted one of the new billet style Cosworth oil pumps to my 4x4 cosworth. Pressure is really good 85psi from cold and holds 35-40 on tick over when warm.

Did notice that when fitting there was a bit more play between the hexagonal shaft and the drive in the pump but engine has run fine so far, guess time will tell if it is a problem.
