About 10 minutes of searching on Ebay turned up at least 20 rebuildable fuel pumps, the ones held together with screws. Some were "core" types and others were "new old stock" or "rebuilt". More than a few were dirt cheap. There's nothing particularly exotic about compression springs- - - -a pump with too much line pressure can have a lighter spring installed by anyone capable of running a screwdriver. It would probably be a good idea to scavenge up a few for future use before they all get melted down to produce beer cans.
