This is a notice for anyone still wishing to get their pumps done on this possibly final run. I just spoke with the rebuilder two days ago and everything is still on track. My concern is that given the current economy, they may not be available to do this again. The cutoff date for getting your pumps in is April 30 and that is only 8 days away.

Here is an update on the current fuel pump processing. I have removed the arms and related pieces from the pumps prior to taking them to the rebuilder. I took the pumps to the rebuilder for disassembly 3 weeks ago. I was surprised that they were not available to be picked up sooner. I just now called them and they are now ready for me to pick up which I will do tomorrow. They will then need to have the castings cleaned and the tin and arms replated. I will then take them back to the rebuilder for reassembly. When they are done I will pick them up and bring them back to my place to reinstall the arms and springs. They are then boxed and shipped to everyone.

Fred,where are you getting the springs that are broken to replace them with?
any chance of seeing pumps before the end of june?
I have the fuel pumps back from the rebuilder in their disassembled condition. The tin parts are ready to go to the plater on Monday and the castings are in the cleaning process right now. As soon as the plating is done I will be taking the pieces back to the rebuider for reassembly. I will then need to make another trip back to the rebuilder to pick up the assembled pumps. I then bring them back to my place to reattach the arms, box them and ship them.

Fred,
I got my hi-po pump back yestereday. It looks so good, I may have to mount it on the mantle above my fireplace instead of back on the car. Thanks!!

Gerald, I am glad that you are pleased with the results. Thanks for the plug.

Fred,
The three I sent came back beautiful. Thanks for the attention to detail.

Never got an answer to where the arm springs are coming from that are broken?
I had to buy fuel pump cores to get the springs.

Fred, sent you a PM. Dave.
For everyone that has already sent your fuel pumps in for this run, thank you very much. For all of you that are thinking about sending yours in, I am establishing a cutoff date of November 2, 2009. My objective is to have this run completed by the end of November.

Per Fred, this is the "Fuel Pump Graduating Class of Winter 2009."
You'll notice the pump in the middle stands out from the others. It belongs to an unrestored Shelby and was rebuilt but not replated to keep with the patina of the car.
Enjoy!

That was great thinking to rebuild and not restore...to preserve the originality.
Received my pump back a couple of days ago. Fred, thanks for a job very well done. If another run is ever done I will try to get back in on a second pump.They are that good.
