Fittong Walbro 22 in stock bucket
My method for getting the pump together right worked pretty well, and the car functions perfectly now.
I used a Plastic Welding expoxy I brought from AUtozOne and it was very strong and resistant to fuel.
The trick I used to seal the pump up nicely was taking the little rubber washer on the base of the old pump and then attaching it to the new pump. I slide it in the Buckets hole and put the pumps top back on. I then got some Ducktape and tightly bound the top of the bucket to the bottom and let it sit for for a while. The built up force eventually pushed the Pump and washer right into place. I could litterally shake the Bucket upside down and the pump wouldn't budge. WHen it cam time to epoxy the Bucket top back on... I sanded down the edges of the top and the bottom of the bucket. so the top could easily come on and off. Then I put my first layer of epoxy on the bucket and applied the top. I sealed it again with tape and let it sit for overnight for a good 4-12hour seal. I came back to the bucket and sanded the excess glue off and applied more epoxy around the areas where I could find holes. I let it sit for another 4 and sanded it down smooth again. Everything was nice and had a nice stock fit. Put hte crap back together threw it in the car... and Drove the hell out the car on a dang near empty tank... (Like I always do really)... and everything was fine. No stumbling shorting out.. Nothing.. so if it worked for me... it might work for you.
Adios
Now the real problem is this hole behind my passengers seat... I can hear the exahust 100% better now... I don't even want to patch this thing up!
