Dukes pump O rings

[rotorman]

I'm planning to overhaul my Dukes pump at Aeromotors.  My guess is they don't supply new O rings with the overhaul. Any idea where to source them. I looks like each elbow fitting has two o rings. One rubber and one made from a material I don't recognize . Any ideas on where to source these? Mine are in good shape but I would prefer new ones.

If you ask for them they will send them. I just received the rebuilt pump. They received it on a Friday and had it shipped it out the following Thur. $500. Can't beat that kind of service.

Is it legal for a pilot to install the pump? Two fuel lines and a pair of wires. My guess is no.

It does not qualify as Preventive Maintenance, but if you have an A&P willing to supervise/inspect and sign it off you can do the work yourself.

The wires and fuel lines are easy, the mounting screws can be a pain sometimes. But not too bad.
