1962 e-type fuel pump rebuildable?
 
So, I have my fuel tank out being cleaned after sitting for 33 years with fuel in the tank. However, I cant find any rebuild kits from Jerry's Jag parts nor any other vendor (I only know a few being new to the Jag thing). I dont want to run a later model external pump- I really want the original rebuilt or replaced.
Is the series 1 pump rebuildable? and if so, where to get the parts? If not rebuildable is there a source for new ones?

Thanks in advance.

rebuildable
 
I don't think it is. They make a submersible pump using new technology that is a direct replacement and invisible as it is in the tank as well. Ebay has originals from time to time but would worry what is being put in,. I picked up a NOS one and have that as an option if I ever want to go back original, but pump from SNG barratt is a good new optuion

I would worry about the rubber parts in an NOS part...Time will rot the rubber , even if not exposed to gas...Get a new replacement , and it is good for many years. Just my 2 cents.
