Snapped top hat of fuel basket

Good price.

Definitely better than a new assembly and the actual pump isn't what is going out.
Question; after looking at the rods upon removal of my pump assembly, how are the rods going to be held in? They are pressed into the plastic and inside the plastic there is a groove to catch the little raised lip on the rod. That may work in plastic, but I don't think that will work too well in the aluminum. Maybe a small 4-40 set screw to cram into the rod or a small slot on one side for snap ring to snap into?

Thanks for the work.

A set screw is what I currently had in mind. I will settle on the solution better tomorrow. Im going to use my heat gun to melt the stock rods out and then draw them into cad and see what i come up with. Some sort of set screw or cam type solution, or maybe a cir-clip, etc. It is easier to visualize once I have it in CAD. I havent actually held one of these removed from the plastic top myself yet... tomorrow.

Long day.. just had to wrap up a driveshaft and tuneup in a IS300 then changed the fuel filter in a 880rwhp 350z, time to head home... tomorrow I will be working in the CNC all day so I am hoping to knock out some prototypes.
