Another explorer PS pump question...?

[kholding]

I really didn't notice when I was installing the pump back onto the bracket that it might need a washer between the pump and the bracket? I tightened everything up and called it good. When I was looking at it today from above, it looks like I bent the bracket a little when I tightened the back bolt. Is there a washer or spacer that usually goes between the pump and the bracket? If not, how in the world did I mess this up?

I can't answer your question but I have one for you. Is that a Lee pump? If so, which one is it? Most of the high volume/increased pressure pumps I have found for my Explorer front dress require bracket mods. I like the way your fits like a factory unit.
Sorry for the hi-jack.

The pump factory. No upgrade yet!

Yes, there should be a spacer, mine looks like .188-.210

Thanks Krawler, do you have a pic?

The spacer is part of the bracket.

Ok, I have that. The bracket looks a little "bent" and the powder coating cracked a little where the bend is. It wasn't like that before I installed the pump. So there is no washer between that cast spacer and the pump? I just want to make sure I'm not going to mess it up.

FWIW I found these pic from when I replaced my pump.
