Thanks to all that responded regarding the compression fitting at the carb
side of the pump. Several good suggestions, but Brooks Bullock takes the
prize with the following idea - posted here FYI. Worked like a charm and
took about ten minutes.
Hi Buzz,
I resolved this issue twice now, once on my car and once on another. By
using two ferrules, just grind both down and putting the new machined
pieces
mating each other,<_||_> so as to equal the length of the original
unobtainable ferrule(sleeve). I have removed the pipe a couple of times
and
even reused the ferrules, once the are tightened they are there to stay.
Good Luck
Brooks
