Location: Northen Virginia | I played with this pump and it is an nightmare over-engineered piece of work..The methods are in the shop manual, you also are going to need to make your own special tools.

Anyone who knows where to find the cap for this pump?
What you are looking for (I think) is a 1732 990 cap for the 1733 976 Thompson PS pump. No hits on 1732990 via eBay search but this 1945461 looks close:

| 65$ for a cap is absurd... talk to Big M.
Many normal caps will fit this also. Mine looks different but I have a 57 |

Location: Muskego, WI | I have rebuild these pumps, what a pain. The "plunger and blocks" arrangement is pretty difficult to get back together, but I found that if I coat the plungers with grease that they'll be "sticky" enough to hold their position while I arrange them and reassemble the "body" and "cap" (as named in the diagram above). |

Location: Lödöse | You are absolutely right there Mike! With the freight to Sweden it is a hilarious sum for a cap:) Ill look elsewhere. |
