Looking for a fuel pump mount for Ysb12

[Mark Pettus]

I have a '77 Hunter 30 and I'm trying to get her sheets into the wind this spring, but I need some help getting her little Yanmar diesel running. I have a great mechanic, but we're having a hard time finding some of the parts we need.

Specifically, I'm having a hard time finding a fuel pump mount for my Yanmar Ysb12. The old one is broken, and since welding cast iron is an iffy proposition at best, I need a replacement. If anyone has one, or suggestions on where to find one, let me know. Yanmar says the part is no longer available, but it looks like the used market is my only hope.

I'd consider buying other parts as well, if you have an old Ysb12 you want to part with.

Your write that "Yanmar says. . . .". Was that Mack Boring or Torresen, both Yanmar dealers and experts? Because I would call Torresen and see if that mount is unique to the YSB. Maybe that mount was used on some other models. Another option is to have one machined from a block of aluminum.
