the new hole!

here's what it looks like now:

pics below
1) new hole circled in red
2) new hole close-up
3) found the metal bit that blew off--back "in place"
4) view from bottom with metal bit "back in place"

so i may try to weld it back on before springing for a new pump--can't find a used one...

also need to check how the bolt will sit back in its spot... a little concerned about why it flew out in the first place; as mentioned above, i was worried about tightening it too much so may have left it too long.
