Hi Ralph and Bob, The Speedseal is a beautiful machined unit. However a few weeks ago I posted the following: I bought a Speedseal for my Sherwood pump M-18 engine. Speedseal did not have a model made for the Sherwood pump on the M-18. They made one up for me from the paper gaskets and drawings that I sent them. The unit came in and was a close fit and worked, but I felt it was just a little bit off. The cheerfully refunded my money and stated that if I could get them a sample pump they would make another unit. I was so impressed with the unit that if someone has an old Sherwood pump, I would pay for the shipping to me, and I would forward it to Speedseal and would pay for the shipping of the sample pump back to the contributor. I know there were a few other sailors on the list last year that were interested in buying one. Any takers? Harvey Rosenberg C-27Tr #6023, 1985, M-18, Stony Point NY.
