New version/old pump

This is a shot in the dark because i have an older 87 version of this pump which is apparently identical EXCEPT for the inner oil seal. What i need to determine is if i could use the seal washer from this pump in mine and have it work, second if i could find one of those seal washers as pictured in #22 above to convert it.

That seal is 1mm larger in the new version than the old. As in this version above the seal has a washer that fits around it. In my 87 pump it's an actual bushing that the seal fits inside. Finding the right seal would seem to be impossible as they are specifically designed in the kits.

I have the workshop manual CD for the 87 model and it appears to show the same seal washer that is above in the 91- not the one that i have. Mine does not have the larger thrust washer which the manual notes earlier models do not.

Bottom line the seal that comes in the FIBI kit is 24mm. The bushing i have is a 22.5mm tolerance which would need a 23mm seal. Believe me i had 2 of these seals and destroyed one trying to get it into the bushing.
