Update

UPDATE: I talked to a machinist I know and he had a look, He has 2 ideas on how to fix this without welding:

1) In the picture, on the left is what remains, on the right the new steel fabrication. The Idea here is simple, get a 3/16 or 1/4" piece of steel. Cut it to size. Then on the IP, drill 2 small holes on the left and right side of the whats left of that mount. Then on the fabricated piece do the same and tap a hole in the middle for the Idle Adjust screw. (Is it EXATLY 14mm?) and then using alan screws fasten that newly fab'd piece to the old and done.




2) Next Idea. This one is a little different. He located a bolt off the side of the IP. He thought about making an L piece that bolt onto the end threads of that bolt. Then it would go on and sit right where the idle adjust screw should be sitting. I looked up the bolt's function (the one he wanted to use the end of) its called the Full-Load Stop bolt. In the service manual here is what is said (when installing the pump)

"Check whether connecting rod (5) is correctily set, moving control lever (1) to full-load stop (2) for this purpose. Operating lever (8) must have approx. .5mm clearance from full-load stop (6)."

Do you see attaching something to the end of that bolt (after the nut) as being a problem in way? Below is a picture of the idea. Keep in mind it will be properly angled, suffice it to say, I cannot draw very will Paint.




I would appreciate your feedback. This is a HECK of a lot cheaper than a new/used pump. And A lot easier than finding all the peices for JB Weld. Also it doesnt endanger the pump like welding would. So which idea do you support?
