I looked through the posts and early Technical Manual content. I know this is not discovering America, but a short wrap up may help those who look for it in the future. Joe was sharing this knowledge many years ago wiht us
.
It looks like the difference between the inlet fittings and screens in long and short pump is the diameter of the fitting thread and socket you need for them (short 27mm, long 22mm). Screen is the same. It should be possible to remove screen from one and attach it to the other. But I read some of you destroyed the screen while trying to do that, so there is a risk associated with this activity.
I was digging through the internet, but the only place I found this screen is Authentic Classic - they have the one for long pump. As I need the other one (for short pump) and as this piece from Authentic Classic would cost me way over $100 with risk of damage on transferring the screen to my fitting, I was hoping perhaps one of you has one for short pump for sale. Or can direct me to a source...
