Lu,

One thing I dont understand about the fuel pump.

It is not unusual to get engines for change with bits missing. It often happens where you get a Bare Engine, a Non handed QEC or a Handed QEC.
To remove parts of the original engine is normal provided those parts are not lifed or within life and the previous engine did not suffer a failure that renders the parts unusable.
So having removed the pump from the old engine why did they not just take the duct and bracket at the same time ??

I was not aware that they had changed an engine , the original story I heard was that they were carrying out a mod kit that had bits missing ( which to me makes more sense)
