Hi mate why don't you try a local welding firm, remove the pump and get them to repair the damage, should only cost a few quid and the pice of a gasget or 2

Nice one. Always satisfying when you can repair (or get repaired) a component rather than fork over large amounts of hard-earned for a new one. And almost as pleasing when you hear of a fellow rider doing the same. Good work fella, and enjoy the TT.
