TR 6 Fuel Pump question

I have noticed lately an oil leak below my fuel pump.  I suspected the fuel 
pump gasket need replacement.

I took off the fuel pump and found that the rocker fulcrum pin that holds the 
rocker arm in place had quite nearly fell out of the pump.  I reengaged it 
carefully running it thru the various required washers and the rocker.  I 
noticed that the two lock washers on either side did not really lock the 
fulcrum pin in place as the pin had no recesses in it to lock on to the 
washers.  Anyway, it stopped the oil leak but after driving my TR for the 
weekend I rechecked to make sure pin was in place.  Once again the pin had 
quite nearly fallen out of the pump.  Does anyone have any 
suggestions/recommendations please.  I found that new fuel pumps are not 
identical to my existing one and I would have to modify my fuel lines which I 
do not want to do if possible.  Thanks in advance.   Virgil 75 TR6 Cleve, Oh
