I have owned a C170A for 30 years but know little of the ragwing 170. I just discovered in my accumulated "stuff" a mechanical fuel pump off an early C170 ragwing. 15 years ago they were in short supply so I suppose today they are more scarce yet. Is there any place that rebuilds these? Is there a demand for this item or has an alternative been found? I will list this for sale so someone who needs one can put it to use but I have no clue as to value. Any help on this would be appreciated.

Re: Ragwing fuel Pump
I don't think they're in particularly short supply, virtually all the early Continentals used
them in low wing aircraft. Your core value (for exchange) is about $100 tho'.
Pump PN 40585 is available from Aircraft Spruce for about $300. (their pn 05-02557)
