<p>Mylar, You could well be right. I was always told it was kevlar
but when I think of it this may be wrong. If I look up mylar, it
certainly has the right properties.</p>

I must be the outlier; I've had many SU pumps fail on the road
over the years (maybe, because until recently I was putting 5-7K
miles/year on my BJ8?). I've bought new points-based, rebuilt
several--for a few years the replacement points were pure
crap--bought new SU electronic and built SU electronic from kits
and had the late Dave DuBois rebuild several (now in pieces on the
bench). Still, I stick with them hoping for one of the legendary
points type that supposedly last a million miles.<br>

I always thought/assumed the film on the diaphragm face was mylar
(not kevlar).<br>

<div style="color: black; font: 10pt arial;">Why do so
many people replace an original SU pump that has lasted
decades with an aftermarket pump that requires modifying
the fuel lines, adding additional fittings, clamps &
altering the mounting brackets (all additional sources
of failures), vibrates continuously, etc, when it would
be so much easier & more original to simply replace
it with a new highly reliable SU fuel pump? If you are
concerned about being stranded at the side of the road,
carry a spare SU or even better install it in parallel
& wire up a selector switch so you can switch
between the two pumps.
