What pump do you have? I can get you one in the mail. You're in Canada, right? USPS is open tomorrow.

 

Well a small bore is plenty for a ve. Ill grab the those parts at the parts store and like the spacer amazon has for like 15 bucks next day shipping. PM me please for details. Thanks a million

 

Send me your address VIA PM.

 

Rugtrucker sent me the springs and the big bore one fit perfect. Also got the fuel line, fitting from 1/2 to 1/4 and the spacer. And ofcourse a big bore cummins dcec pump.
So that problem is solved

 

I took this vaccuum pump right apart, new power steering pump, new ball bearing that i got pressed on at the machine shop, all new orings and new diaphram pumps. Anyway, i just finished pushing the gear and bearing part onto the PS pump by means of a stud and nut, as mentioned in the writeup of Jim Lane, but there a bit of up and down play on the gear, like where my finger is. If i hold the gear i can wiggle it up and down a bit, like an 1/8 of an inch. Is that normal?

 

Rug_trucker could i send you a few bucks for a spring as well?

 

Anyone?

 

Is it the gear that is moving via the bearing, or is it the housing?

 

The gear and bearing move together. It would jave to be the PS shaft or something. So its not normal?

 

I see a lot of progress on this project on your build thread over at RCC.
Looking good!

 

Thanks! Any idea on the vaccuum gear?

 

Hey thrashingcows, for your build did you use washers as well to bolt the crossmembers to the frame? That is not in your thread. And what did you torque them to? Again thanks for your thread so much good info in there. Its really helped me. Im doing my thread on another forum unfortunately. Started there and just kept going there

 

Great thread over at RCC to read. Good work.
I also see you are making it 4x4 now.

 

Thanks alot. Appreciate it. Its alot of work but probably rewarding
