Fuel Pump (rear)
« on: March 22, 2019, 21:02:51 »
My $775 knock-off fuel pump for my 280 SL has failed after 4 years. Any suggestions on a replacement? Thanks!

SOLD SOLD SOLD I can supply you with a rebuilt Bosch short pump. New custom Viton gaskets (far superior to the neoprene MB sells), rewound armature, MB spec brushes (no chinese knock off), new hardware, polished case, Warranty, $820 shipped . I have done over 150 of these now, see picture for some completed ones in the back along with parts that are not up to my standards in front.
