Elan S4 Fuel Pump kit

[filippe]

Hi

Can anyone help with finding a repair kit for a glass bowled fuel pump on a 1970 S4 Elan? There are lots of kits available but non seem to have the oil seal for the diaphram rod that sits in the bottom half of the pump.

Any help much appreiciated.

I’ve retained glass fuel pumps on two of my cars and I remember at one point coming across a source that I recorded as possibly being useful if I ever needed help with them which fortunately I have not, But it is Terrell machine company, 1000 CR 454 de Leon Texas phone number 254.8932610, Gordon

try these people. I have not bought from them but have bookmarked the site because they seem to have lots of useful stuff. Gary

I can second the Flexolite recommendation, I purchased the exact same seal that you're looking for only last year.

However I'm not sure if it was an anomaly with my fuel pump or with all Elan fuel pumps - but I could not find the correct diaphragm, and I tried and rang many different suppliers. All the diaphragms I tried had the same problem - when the holes lined up the metal shaft wouldn't and vice versa. Ended up having to use the old one.
