replacing AC fuel pump diaphragm

[daverclasper]

Hi.

 

Need to replace it (On vitesse). Removed it according to haynes manual and the flat edges at bottom of the spindle have torn the fibre washer under the bowl a bit when pulling it out.

 

So a few questions please.

 

Repair kits don't seem to have these 2 washers, so any alternatives (eg-maybe adapt some generic ones)?.

 

the thin bowl  under diaphragm to assess the washers seems difficult to remove without damaging it?.

 

How to refit the diaphragm without damaging any new washers?.

 

Is it the end of the world if some engine oil splashes into the bottom half of the pump due to the partly damaged washers?.

 

Any help great please.

 

Thanks, Dave

Dave they are more a splash shield than a oil seal anything similar would work, but its not overly important

so maybe stick with whats left.
