How many wet vacuume pumps have you had installed? The pump alone is

done.

No, what's clear is that you have no real idea of how maintenance works
in the real world of light piston airplanes.

Who in the world would buy a new wet pump and separator from Aircraft
Spruce? Certainly nobody I know. Those things last essentially
forever, there were tons of them manufactured decades ago, and they're
everywhere. You can have one overhauled for much less than the cost of
a new dry pump, and you get old ones from any salvage yard. Any
mechanic worth his salt knows how to do this. The mechanic who just
orders new from Aircraft Spruce is going to cost you a lot of money.

I guess the guys that are making the new ones must be a bunch of idiots not
to know this.
