        Joe:

        I rebuilt my original using the $16 rebuild kit. I drifted in
the replacement valves although they really should be pressed in. Pretty
straight forward, and it worked on the first try. I secured the cover
with a stainless bolt, as the original had rusted badly.

        No issues with mine in three years. With my luck however...
Well, you may read about a Triumph bursting into flames, consuming the
car and the owner. The owner will be heard to shout as he shrivels in
the terrible heat "I would rather burn in my Triumph than be caught in
an MG".

Greetings. 
 
A few years ago I replaced my original AC fuel pump - as a precautionary
measure - with an aftermarket one.  It was 30+ years old - and bound to
die
soon right?

Now - I obviously need to order another pump.  Both TRF and Moss are
selling
aftermarket units, albeit at widely different prices - TRF ($99), Moss
($50). 
They both look similar, and the design includes the primer.  Does anyone
have
anything good or bad to say about either?
 
Thanks,
 
Joe Merone
