Fuel Pump Rebuild
« on: March 24, 2012, 21:13:14 »
WhiIe dismantling my 280SL fuel pump it fell and the negative battery terminal snapped off. Can anyone help me find a replacement terminal? The car and pump have not run for 10 or more years. It is time to get them up and running again.
Thanks.
Joe

Joe,

The only place to get this terminal is from a donor pump. If it is just the ear broken off and it still seals, the pump will still operate without any issues.

Thank you George.   
I have a working pump ordered from EBay plus the fellow (Tom) is also sending me a donor pump so I will have the terminal to fix my pump, which I wii keep as a spare. :)  Now, how do I get a set of o-rings and gaskets?  Do you have the o-ring sizes?  My pump brushes are  good. 
Anything else I am missing???

I just had 2 of the old style tall fuel pumps rebuild by H&R Fuel Injection in NY.  $275 each and they look like new.
