Bob, Thanks. You are correct. I should have done that in '93. Then I
wouldn't have found the same problem last month. However, the original pumps
do not have the same problem. Some engineer in the '60's had enough sense to
put the circlips on each end.
SO, no bitching on my part about those Triumph engineers of long ago. :-).
