[6pack] fuel pump rebuild - advice

[Timothy Holbrook]

Hi fellow 6-Packers and happy holiday season to you all!!
A few weeks back I discovered that the factory-original OE mechanical fuel pump on my TR6 was leaking fuel into the crank case - not a good situation!  I bought a rebuild kit but was shocked to learn that the ONE seal which isn't included/available is the crucial one which seals the "fuel stream" (that is, the part of the pump through which fuel passes) from the crank case.  
So, I then bought one of the "OE reproduction" pumps from Moss.  Looked very nice, has the manual priming lever, etc.  I fitted it to the car, took it for a drive, and thought "great, another job completed".  A few hours later I went into the garage and was hit with the strong smell of gasoline.  The BRAND NEW pump was leaking from the top cover, resulting in a big puddle of fuel under the car.  I've also determined that the manually priming lever doesn't function!!  Needless to say, the new pump is going in the trash.
Question for all of you - can you recommend a company who does high-quality work rebuilding our OE mechanical fuel pumps?  I'm not interested in buying another reproduction from Moss.  I want to get my factory-original pump rebuilt and hopefully have it last another 50 years!!
