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.

No, they're very smart. They realize there are plenty of Rapoports
out there


A glance at any phonebook contradicts this statement. Personally, I would
install electric instruments with dual alternators and get rid of the vacuum
pump, hoses, filter and instruments.
